For example under the O32 modeless FP proposal the dynamic linker & ifunc resolvers will need this information. The kernel is the only thing in a position to know availability accurately, so the kernel needs to provide the information to userland. This patch introduces the infrastructure to provide the AT_HWCAP aux vector to userland in order to provide that information. It also defines the 2 currently specified flags, which indicate MIPSr6 & MSA support.
