//! Run-time feature detection for Aarch64 on any OS that emulates the mrs instruction.
//!
//! On FreeBSD >= 12.0, Linux >= 4.11 and other operating systems, it is possible to use
//! privileged system registers from userspace to check CPU feature support.
//!
//! AArch64 system registers ID_AA64ISAR0_EL1, ID_AA64PFR0_EL1, ID_AA64ISAR1_EL1
//! have bits dedicated to features like AdvSIMD, CRC32, AES, atomics (LSE), etc.
//! Each part of the register indicates the level of support for a certain feature, e.g.
//! when ID_AA64ISAR0_EL1\[7:4\] is >= 1, AES is supported; when it's >= 2, PMULL is supported.
//!
//! For proper support of [SoCs where different cores have different capabilities](https://medium.com/@jadr2ddude/a-big-little-problem-a-tale-of-big-little-gone-wrong-e7778ce744bb),
//! the OS has to always report only the features supported by all cores, like [FreeBSD does](https://reviews.freebsd.org/D17137#393947).
//!
