update_cpu_features() is pretty large, so split out the checking of the
AArch32 features into a separate function and call it after checking the

This relies on the assumption that the id_aa64pfr0 has been sanitised. It may be worth adding a comment to make sure people (hacking the
kernel) don't move this around and break that dependency.

Either ways:
