From: Robert Richter <rrichter at cavium.com>

This patch series adds gicv3 updates and workarounds for HW errata in
Cavium's ThunderX GICV3.

The patches has been rebased onto 4.3-rc1. Note that there are two
important fixes. See below for all changes.

The first one is an unchanged resubmission of a patch from a gicv3
series I sent a while ago.

The next patches implement the workarounds for ThunderX's gicv3. Patch
#2 implements the cpu workaround for gicv3 on ThunderX. Patch #3 is a
prerequisit for patch #5. Patch #4 adds generic code to parse the hw
revision provided by an IIDR. This patch is used for the implementa-
tion of the actual gicv3-its workaround in #5. Patch #6 updates to the
new jump label API.

All current review comments addressed so far with v5

v5:
 * fixed calling gic_read_iar_cavium_thunderx() if jump label is
   enabled
 * fix table size wrongly allocating only 4MB
 * made is_cavium_thunderx static
 * removed ARCH_THUNDER dependency for Cavium errata options to
   make it available for generic kernels
 * renamed caps names to quirk
 * introduced CAVIUM_ERRATUM_22375 config option
 * introduced ITS_FLAGS_WORKAROUND_CAVIUM_22375
 * added config descriptions
 * update to new jump label API

v4:
 * simplify code to only use cpus_have_cap() in gicv3_enable_quirks()
 * only enable hw detection for its in its_enable_quirks()
 * removed gicv3_check_capabilities()
 * drop special cpu capability for zero

v3:
 * use arm64 errata framework for midr check
 * fix mixup of errata to be dependend from midr/iidr

v2:
 * Workaround for 23154:
   * implement code in a single asm() to keep instruction sequence
   * added comment to the code that explains the erratum
   * apply workaround also if running as guest, thus check MIDR
 * adding MIDR check
