arm64: cpufeature: Extend comment to describe absence of field info
When a feature register field is omitted from the description of the register, the corresponding bits are treated as STRICT RES0, including for KVM guests. This is subtly different to declaring the field as HIDDEN/STRICT/EXACT/0, so update the comment to call this out. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org>
