This series adds new HWCAPs for two Arm v8.7 features:
  - FEAT_AFP: Alternate floating-point behavior for specific
    floating point instructions.
  - FEAT_RPRES: Increased precision of Reciprocal Estimate and
    Reciprocal Square Root Estimate from an 8-bit mantissa to a
    12-bit mantissa.

These features can be enabled by userspace by setting some new bits
in FPCR. These new bits are FPCR.{NEP, AH, FIZ}. Since these must be
explicitly enabled by userspace, this should not affect existing
applications.

This has been tested with:
  - FVP: combinations of both features, including mismatched CPUs
  - qemu: regression test, neither feature is supported
  - juno: regression test, neither feature is supported
