(this isn't needed with my suggestion below).

I doubt apple are the only folks doing this, so can we instead have
sysreg-impdef.h please, and then have an Apple section in there for these
registers? That way, we could also have an imp_sys_reg() macro to limit
CRn to 11 or 15, which is the reserved encoding space for these registers.

We'll cc you for any patches touching the Apple parts, as we don't have
the first clue about what's hiding in there.

The Arm ARM says this about imp-def sysregs:

  | The Arm architecture guarantees not to define any register name
  | prefixed with IMP_ as part of the standard Arm architecture.
  |
  | Note
  | Arm strongly recommends that any register names created in the
  | IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED register spaces be prefixed with IMP_ and
  | postfixed with _ELx, where appropriate.

and it seems like we could follow that here without much effort, if you
don't mind.
