I still have a random cleanup patch knocking around for constifying
these arrays.
It's probably best kept separate so that your patch just moves code
around, but feel free to add my patch to the series if you want.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] arm64: Constify hwcap name string arrays
The hwcap string arrays used for generating the contents of
/proc/cpuinfo are currently arrays of non-const pointers.
There's no need for these pointers to be mutable, so this patch makes
them const so that they can be moved to .rodata.
