When a new cpu feature is available, the cpu feature bits will have some
initial value, which is incremented when the feature is updated.
This patch changes 'register_value' to be 'min_field_value', and checks
the feature bits value (interpreted as a signed int) is greater than this
minimum.

This patch adds an 'enable()' callback to cpu capability/feature
detection, allowing features that require some setup or configuration
to get this opportunity once the feature has been detected.

Add a new item to the feature set (ARM64_HAS_SYSREG_GIC_CPUIF)
to indicate that we have a system register GIC CPU interface
This will help KVM switching to alternative instruction patching.

As we detect more architectural features at runtime, it makes
sense to reuse the existing framework whilst avoiding to call
a feature an erratum...
This patch extract the core capability parsing, moves it into
a new file (cpufeature.c), and let the CPU errata detection code
use it.
