[cfarm-users] GCC112 and missing hwcaps

[Jeffrey Walton]

Hi Everyone,

GCC112 is a Power8 machine, but hwcaps is missing features present on
the cpu like in-core crypto.

CPU feature probing shows the features do in fact exist. It looks like
an old hwcap.h file (shown below).

$ cat /usr/include/bits/hwcap.h
