I have no problems with this being committed, but I do ask that
if we cannot get the HWCAP bits settled (waiting on the kernel
people) before the next glibc release, that we back this out
before the release. I don't think having the AT_PLATFORM and
AT_HWCAP/AT_HWCAP2 masks out of sync is a good thing for the
release.
