Causes access to the Trace functionality to trap to EL1 when executed from EL0 or EL1.
This bit is RES0.

Reserved, RES0.
FPEN, [21:20]
Traps instructions that access registers associated with Advanced SIMD and floating-point
execution to trap to EL1 when executed from EL0 or EL1. The possible values are:
0bX0 Trap any instruction in EL0 or EL1 that uses registers associated with Advanced SIMD
and floating-point execution. The reset value is 0b00.
0b01 Trap any instruction in EL0 that uses registers associated with Advanced SIMD and
floating-point execution. Instructions in EL1 are not trapped.
0b11 No instructions are trapped.
This field is RES0 if Advanced SIMD and floating-point are not implemented.
