Summary

Add a new macro under asm.h to check whether a given CPU feature is
supported. There are a number of existing places where an ID register is
checked, and these have been updated in this change. These are for GIC
special registers, HAFDBS and HCX.

When calling, pass a temporary registers who's value is not important,
the name of the ID register (minus the exception level), the name of the
feature, and a label to jump to should the feature not be present. The
feature name should match with the macros defined in armreg.h or
hypervisor.h. Any feature-specific instructions can then be placed
between the macro and the label.
