Yufeng, I jumped the gun on this one, having thought about it further,
the trace unit is actually optional in the architecture. Therefore we
should treat them the same as the GICv3 registers. See may earlier
email on the GIVv3 registers. I think this patch should not go in and
we should instead take the patch from Zhenqiang to widen the canonical
system register name space to include S2_*.
