Subject: [PATCH] arm64: KVM: Add workaround for Cortex-A57 erratum 834220

Cortex-A57 parts up to r1p2 can misreport Stage 2 translation faults
when a Stage 1 permission fault or device alignment fault should
have been reported.

This patch implements the workaround (which is to validate that the
Stage-1 translation actually succeeds) by using code patching.

+	  This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
+	  erratum 834220 on Cortex-A57 parts up to r1p2.

+	  Affected Cortex-A57 parts might report a Stage 2 translation
+	  fault as the result of a Stage 1 fault for load crossing a
+	  page boundary when there is a permission or device memory
+	  alignment fault at Stage 1 and a translation fault at Stage 2.
+
+	  The workaround is to verify that the Stage 1 translation
+	  doesn't generate a fault before handling the Stage 2 fault.
+	  Please note that this does not necessarily enable the workaround,
+	  as it depends on the alternative framework, which will only patch
+	  the kernel if an affected CPU is detected.
