Introducing the field 'el0' to the idreg-override for register
ID_AA64PFR0_EL1. This field is also aliased to the new kernel
command line option 'arm64.no32bit_el0' as a more recognizable
and mnemonic name to disable the execution of 32 bit userspace
applications (i.e. avoid Aarch32 execution state in EL0) from
kernel command line.

Changes in V2:
- fixed the order of appearance of arm64.no32bit_el0 entry in
  kernel-parameters.txt documentation.

A gentle ping about this patch... any thoughts about it?

Many thanks,

It looks reasonable to me, but arch/arm64/kernel/idreg-override.c no
longer exists upstream, so you need to rebase.

Thanks,

Will
