    * EL1 support is gated by the ARM64_HAS_32BIT_EL1 capability and handled

s/EL1/EL0

Relax the AArch32 checks to FTR_NONSTRICT.

Agreed. We should do something similar for the features exposed by the
ELF_HWCAP, of course in a separate series.

Hmm, I didn't think we needed to touch the HWCAPs, as they're derived from
the sanitised feature register values. What am I missing?

sorry, that was cryptic. I was suggesting to relax the ftr fields to
NONSTRICT for the fields covered by ELF HWCAPs (and other CPU hwcaps).
