Well, I'm not sure how many CPU will have
both ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.EL0 bit as 0b0010 and FEAT_LSUI
(except FVP currently) -- at least the CPU what I saw,
most of them set ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.EL0 as 0b0010.

If you this seems useless, I don't have any strong comments
whether drop patches related to deprecated swp instruction parts
(patch 8-9 only) or not.
(But, I hope to pass this decision to maintaining perspective...)
