I use ARM_FEATURE_V7VE in a later patch to guard against implementing
PMOVSSET on v7 machines which don't implement the virtualization
extensions
(http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-03/msg04917.html).
I could use ARM_FEATURE_EL2, but declaring that v7 machines supported
EL2 didn't feel right. I don't feel strongly one way or the other - how
do you prefer to handle this?
