ARMv8.2 extensions [1] include an optional feature, which supports
half precision(16bit) floating point/asimd data processing
instructions. This patch adds support for detecting and exposing
the same to the userspace via HWCAPs

The ARM v8.1 architecture introduces new atomic instructions to the A64
instruction set for things like cmpxchg, so advertise their availability
to userspace using a hwcap.

Advertise the optional cryptographic and CRC32 instructions to
user space where present. Several hwcap bits [3-7] are allocated.

[bit 2 is taken now so use bits 3-7 instead]

This patch adds support for configuring the event stream frequency
and enabling it.
It also adds the hwcaps as well as compat-specific definitions to
the user to detect this event stream feature.
