Instruction Set Attribute Register 2
Provides information about the instruction sets implemented by the PE in AArch32 state.
Must be interpreted with ID_ISAR0, ID_ISAR1, ID_ISAR3, ID_ISAR4, and ID_ISAR5.
For general information about the interpretation of the ID registers see 'Principles of the ID scheme for fields in ID registers'.
AArch32 System register ID_ISAR2 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register ID_ISAR2_EL1[31:0].
This register is present only when FEAT_AA32EL1 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to ID_ISAR2 are UNDEFINED.
ID_ISAR2 is a 32-bit register.
