    arm64: docs: describe ELF hwcaps · 611a7bc7
    Mark Rutland authored
    We don't document our ELF hwcaps, leaving developers to interpret them
    according to hearsay, guesswork, or (in exceptional cases) inspection of
    the current kernel code.
    
    This is less than optimal, and it would be far better if we had some
    definitive description of each of the ELF hwcaps that developers could
    refer to.
    
    This patch adds a document describing the (native) arm64 ELF hwcaps.
