Sure, I'm not clear what you're trying to say here?  The "no additional"
bit is referring to FEAT_CPA.

Could you please be more explicit regarding what you're expecting to see
here?  Other than the writeability mask for the ID register I would have
expected to need explicit code to enable new features rather than
explicit code to keep currently unsupported features unsupported.  I'm
sure what you're referencing will be obvious once I see it but I'm
drawing a blank.

I didn't see anything but I might not be aware of where to look, there
doesn't seem to be anything for that specifically in HFGITR_EL2 or
HFGITR2_EL2 which would be the main places I'd expect to find something.
