Introducing the field 'el0' to the idreg-override for register
ID_AA64PFR0_EL1. This field is also aliased to the new kernel
command line option 'arm64.no32bit_el0' as a more recognizable
and mnemonic name to disable the execution of 32 bit userspace
applications (i.e. avoid Aarch32 execution state in EL0) from
kernel command line.

That new entry is not in alphabetical order like it should be.
