+ * Due to the fact that ELF_HWCAP is a 32-bit type on ARM, and given the number
+ * of optional CPU features it defines, ARM's CPU hardware capability bits have
+ * been distributed over separate elf_hwcap and elf_hwcap2 variables, each of
+ * which covers a subset of the available CPU features.
+ *
+ * Currently, only a few of those are suitable for automatic module loading
+ * (which is the primary use case of this facility) and those happen to be all
+ * covered by HWCAP2. So let's only cover those via the cpu_feature()
+ * convenience macro for now (which is used by module_cpu_feature_match()).
+ * However, all capabilities are exposed via the modalias, and can be matched
+ * using an explicit MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() that uses __hwcap_feature() directly.
