[RFC] arm64: cpuinfo: Expose MIDR_EL1 and REVIDR_EL1 to sysfs

Commit Message

It can be useful for JIT software to be aware of MIDR_EL1 and
REVIDR_EL1 to ascertain the presence of any core errata that could
affect codegen.

This patch exposes these registers through sysfs:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$ID/identification/midr
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$ID/identification/revidr

where $ID is the cpu number. For big.LITTLE systems, one can have a
mixture of cores (e.g. Cortex A53 and Cortex A57), thus all CPUs need
to be enumerated.

If the kernel does not have valid information to populate these entries
with, an empty string is returned to userspace.

Hello,

This RFC is meant to sit on top of Suzuki's set at:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2015-July/358990.html

On systems with different core types (for instance big.LITTLE systems),
we need to be *very* careful that the REVIDR and MIDR are both read
from the same core. Thus these registers are exposed in /sys rather
than via MRS emulation.

Cheers,

Patch
