After further discussion with userland library develpoer, we addressed another two ASEs that can be used runtimely in programs.
Export them in hwcap as well to benefit userspace programs.

What's the motivation for exposing VZ? Userland can't actually use it without something like KVM, which already exposes a means of detecting whether VZ is supported (try the creating a VM of type KVM_VM_MIPS_VZ & see if it works). I'm not sure what userland would be able to do with this information in AT_HWCAP.
Thanks, Paul
