    xen/arm: cpufeature: Add helper to check constant caps
    
    Some capababilities are set right during boot and will never change
    afterwards. At the moment, the function cpu_have_caps will check whether
    the cap is enabled from the memory.
    
    It is possible to avoid the load from the memory by using an
    ALTERNATIVE. With that the check is just reduced to 1 instruction.
