I agree it's appropriate to mark ID_AA64DFR0_EL1.HPMN0 as an
UnsignedEnum. It follows the usual ID scheme per ARM DDI 0487 L.a
section D24.1.3, and zero means not present, so it must be unsigned.

Likewise, the value renames (UNPREDICTABLE => NI and DEF => IMP) look
fine to me.

I have one minor nit below, but either way:

Minor nit, but we can drop the "FEAT_" prefix here, for consistency with
other features (e.g. E0PD, FPMR).

Mark.
