Yes, with your reminding I recognize that we can avoid the new helpers.
Just remind, tracing PID in contextidr is not only used by Arm SPE
driver, it will be used in Arm CoreSight driver as well. I plan to use
a separate patch set to address Arm CoreSight (CoreSight driver misses
to checking root PID namespace so need firstly fix that issue).
Just give more info, so you and arm64 maintainers could judge we
should use helpers or directly access static key.
Thanks for your review!
Leo
