[PATCH v5 09/21] arm64: cpufeature: Add global feature override facility

2021-01-26 Thread Marc Zyngier
Add a facility to globally override a feature, no matter what the HW says. Yes, this sounds dangerous, but we do respect the "safe" value for a given feature. This doesn't mean the user doesn't need to know what they are doing. Nothing uses this yet, so we are pretty safe. For now.
