The recent refactoring led to us leaking some HWCAP bits to userspace
that didn't make much sense.  With any luck we'll have a better scheme
soon, but for now just mask off those bits to avoid polluting userspace.

Should that not be a GENMASK, or is there a reason not to use that here?
Away from a setup where I can poke at it though, so, since you say this
has only been exported in for-next, preventing us running out of hwcap
sounds like a great idea.
