This doesn't seem right -- I think ID_AA64DFR0_EL1 should be exposed
as zero, not whatever the underlying register value is.

More generally, this ifdeffing of "maybe mask the values" doesn't
seem very future-proof. If we add something to one of the cpu-id_*
values, that should be masked out to zero by default for linux-user,
not defaulting to passed through.
