Jerry Yu 183385f02f multibinary: Add run-time cpu feature detect for aarch64
Some CPUs  report "illegal instruction" error for the crc test because
they do not support the relevant optional feature . This can be fixed by
introducing CPU feature detection for AArch64 .

The difference with the x86 implementation is the dispatcher . It is based
on the glibc function `getauxval(AT_HWCAP)` and `getauxval(AT_HWCAP2)` , not
registers or instructions .

On a  heterogeneous system (big.LITTLE) , it is dangerous to detect CPU
features using identification registers . And while it is possible to use
architectural feature registers from userspace on recent kernels, this
won't necessarily work with older platforms . Thus we use the HW_CAPs
exported from the kernel (and visible in getauxval) as the solution.

- According to kernel suggestion , getauxval should be used for this purpose .

- According to  AAPCS result/paramter registers should be saved/restore for function call
