Good point.

It is either this macro, or a large-ish switch/case statement doing
the same thing. See below.

I don't think that works. HWCAP_CAP_MATCH() doesn't take the
reg/field/limit information that we need to compute the
capability. Without such information neatly populated in
arm64_cpu_capabilities, you can't call has_user_cpuid_feature().

A previous incarnation of the same patch was using that macro. But you
then end-up with having to map the cap with the field/limit and
perform the check "by hand". Roughly, this would look like this:

Frankly, I don't think this is worth it, and you still need to hack
read_scoped_sysreg().

Yeah, that should work.

Thanks,
