Are we planning to add this in Documentation/?  If so, we might want
some tweaks (noted below).

We don't wan't people using the MRS emulation without checking for its
availability first.

Something like this may work (untested), with the caveat that getauxval()
is a GNU libc extension, and other environments may require a different
mechanism to obtain the hwcaps.

--8<--

#include <sys/auxv.h>
#include <asm/hwcap.h>

/* ... */

	if (!getauxval(AT_HWCAP) & HWCAP_CPUID) {
		fputs("CPUID registers unavailable\n", stderr);
		return 1;
	}

-->8--
