nit: that's not really what this feature is. It only means that the sysreg interface complies to v4.1. Which on its own is totally rubbish, because the sysreg don't change behaviour between 3.0/4.0 and 4.1.

Do we really need a new cap for that? Or can we rely on simply looking at the sanitised feature set? I'm not overly keen on advertising a feature at CPU boot time if we discover later on that we cannot use it because all we have in a non-4.1 GIC.
Another thing is that we currently assume that *all* CPUs will be the same at the point where we setup the GIC (we only have a single CPU booted at that point).
