Conversely, I prefer to call them board properties, because that's
the way it works in hardware: the hardware board has the necessary
support for the system-level feature, and part of that is that it
has an SoC or CPU which has been configured to have the properties
that are needed for the board to support the feature. Having a CPU
that nominally supports a feature is useless if the system as a whole
doesn't handle it.
