Arm ID_AA64PFR0_EL1 register provides two fields to describe CPU
FP/SIMD implementations. Currently, we exactly know the meaning of
0x0, 0x1 and 0xf of these fields. Xen treats value < 8 as FP/SIMD
features presented. If there is a value 0x2 bumped in the future,
Xen behaviors for value <= 0x1 can also take effect. But what Xen
done for value <= 0x1 may not always cover new value 0x2 required.
We throw these messages to break the silence when Xen detected
unknown FP/SIMD IDs to notice user to check.

OOI, is this reviewed-by coming from internal review?

I would rather prefer if we don't introduce cpu_has_unknown_{fp, simd}
but open-code directly in the 'if'.
Other than that the code looks ok to me.

Ahh. No, I remember Bertrand gave me a reviewed-by in v2, so I picked it.
I had left OSS for a while, and forgot something. If I can't pick it directly, could
you please tell me how can I handle such reviewed-by?

Thanks, I could address it in v4.

They should only be carried to a new version if they changes are very trivial. You can also ask the reviewer if he/she is happy with the changes you will make so you can carry the tag.
