We unconditionally set the HW_AFDBM capability and only enable it on
CPUs which really have the feature. But sometimes we need to know
whether this cpu has the capability of HW AF. So decouple AF from
DBM by new helper cpu_has_hw_af().

0xf? I think we should have a mask in sysreg.h for this constant.
We don't have the mask, but we certainly have the shift.
GENMASK(ID_AA64MMFR1_HADBS_SHIFT + 3,
ID_AA64MMFR1_HADBS_SHIFT) is a bit
of a mouthful though. Ideally, we'd have a helper for that.
Ok, I will implement the helper if there isn't so far.
And then replace the 0xf with it.
Or could we simpl reuse existing cpuid_feature_extract_unsigned_field() ?
u64 mmfr1 = read_cpuid(ID_AA64MMFR1_EL1);
return cpuid_feature_extract_unsigned_field(mmfr1, ID_AA64MMFR1_HADBS_SHIFT) ?
Yes, we can, I will send the new version
