Hi Marc,

Early versions of Cortex-A76 can end-up with corrupt TLBs if they
speculate an AT instruction in during a guest switch while the
S1/S2 system registers are in an inconsistent state.

Work around it by:
- Mandating VHE
- Make sure that S1 and S2 system registers are consistent before
   clearing HCR_EL2.TGE, which allows AT to target the EL1 translation
   regime

These two things together ensure that we cannot hit this erratum.

Most of the code in the patch is not guarded by #ifdef ARM64_*. So is there any benefits to add a Kconfig for this option?

Cheers,
