Using a function is flexible to represent ELF_HWCAP. So the kernel may
encode hwcap reflecting supported hardware features just at the moment of
the start of each program.

This will be helpful when we introduce prctl/sysctl interface to control
per-process availability of Vector extension in following patches.
Programs started with V disabled should see V masked off in theirs
ELF_HWCAP.

For the uninformed, like myself, this needs to be a function, rather
than open coding the masking of the V bit at the one user of ELF_HWCAP
this series adds, because the binfmt stuff needs to get the value in
create_elf_fdpic_tables() & co?

If that's your purpose,

If you respin for some other reason, could you drop the open coded mask
creation as part of these changes?

Cheers,
Conor.

No, this is to deal with existing userspace that expects vectors to "just 
work" when the V bit is set (e.g. FFmpeg 6.0).

Is that not what create_elf_fdpic_tables() & its ilk do? Inform
userspace of whether the V bit is set?

Cheers,
Conor.
