I wonder whether this would look better if we use the
ARM64_FTR_REG_OVERRIDE approach with an id_isar5_override defined in
cpu_errata.c and populated there. I haven't checked the order in which
they would be called though.

Alternatively, we could make the ftr_id_isar5 reg global and patch it
directly in cpu_errata.c (arm64_ftr_reg_ctrel0 is another case where we
made it global). Yet another option would be to add some function in
cpufeature.[hc] to patch a feature directly and we'd call it from
cpu_errata.c. My preference would be to keep the cpu_enable function for
the workaround in cpu_errata.c.

Is this the first case where we need to change the ELF HWCAPs due to an
erratum?
