While the Feature ID range is well defined and pretty large, it isn't
inconceivable that the architecture will eventually grow some other
ranges that will need to similarly be described to userspace.
Add a VM ioctl to allow userspace to get writable masks for feature ID
registers in below system register space:
op0 = 3, op1 = {0, 1, 3}, CRn = 0, CRm = {0 - 7}, op2 = {0 - 7}
This is used to support mix-and-match userspace and kernels for writable
ID registers, where userspace may want to know upfront whether it can
actually tweak the contents of an idreg or not.
Add a new capability (KVM_CAP_ARM_SUPPORTED_FEATURE_ID_RANGES) that
returns a bitmap of the valid ranges, which can subsequently be
retrieved, one at a time by setting the index of the set bit as the
range identifier.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
