[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 2/5] target/arm: relax permission checks for HWCAP_CPUID registers

[Alex Bennée]

Although technically not visible to userspace the kernel does make
them visible via trap and emulate. For user mode we can provide the
value directly but we need to relax our permission checks to do this.
