Alex Coplan 14962256b3 [PATCH]: aarch64: Refactor representation of system registers
Prior to this patch, the information describing the AArch64 system
registers was separate from the information describing which system
registers are available depending on the CPU feature set. Indeed, the
latter was implemented as a separate function from the main table with
the system register information.

This patch remedies this situation and puts the feature information into
the system register table itself.

This has several advantages:

 * Having all the information described in one place is easier to
   maintain.
 * The logic to check whether a system register is supported now becomes
   trivial (and much more efficient).

Since this patch ended up touching every line of the system register
table, I took the opportunity to make the formatting more consistent and
remove some redundant comments.

Note that there is still more refactoring that could be done along the
same lines here (e.g. with the TLB instructions) but this seemed like a
reasonable first pass.

Testing:

 * Regression tested an x64 -> aarch64-none-elf cross binutils.
 * Built aarch64-none-elf cross toolchain, checked newlib startup
   code still works.
 * Bootstrapped binutils on aarch64-linux-gnu, regression tested.
 * Built aarch64 kernel using new binutils with allyesconfig.

OK for master? If so, I'll need a maintainer to commit on my behalf
since I don't have write access.

Thanks,
Alex

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
