Why? I don't think those should break other versions of A9. If they do,
we need to fix that. In general, we should turn on all errata for
multi-platform builds, so we need to make sure they are done in a
compatible way and can be bypassed if they have performance impacts.
That may ultimately require some runtime patching though.
