Is FLOZ merely a performance optimization?

Have you (or someone else) measured the impact of having it enabled vs disabled?

NSACR[18] == NSACR.NS_SMP

Usage constraints
The ACTLR is: [...] RW in Non-secure state if NSACR.NS_SMP = 1.
In this case all bits are Write Ignore except for the SMP bit.

Thus, even if my firmware sets NSACR.NS_SMP, Linux won't be able to
set bits 1,2,3 in ACTLR.

Regards.
