Thats a good point. I did take a look at them. Most of them were not
really used by the kernel and some of them needed some additional checks
to make sure the "STRICT" is enforced via other checks. (e.g IDAA64MMFR1:VMID).
Here is the remaining list :
IDAA64PFR0_EL1
- GIC - System register GIC itnerface. I think this can be made non-strict,
since we can now enforce it via capabilities (with the GIC_CPUIF
being a Boot CPU feature). So, we need to wait until that series
is merged.
- EL2 - This is a bit complex. This is STRICT only if all the other CPUs were
booted in EL2 and KVM is enabled. But then we need to add an extra
check for hotplugged CPUs.
IDAA64MMFR0_EL1
- BIGENDEL - Again, the system uses sanitised value, so LOWER_SAFE makes sense.
But there are no checks for hotplugged CPUs, if the SETEND emulation
is enabled.
ID_AA64MMFR1_EL
- LOR - Limited Ordering regions, Not supported by the kernel. So we can
make this non-strict.
- HPD - Hierarchical permission disables. Currently unused by the kernel.
So, can be switched to non-strict
- VMID - VMIDbits width. This is currently STRICT+LOWER_SAFE. The KVM uses
sanitised value of the feature, so this can be NONSTRICT+LOWER_SAFE.
However, we need to ensure a hotplugged CPU complies to the sanitised
width (which may have been used by KVM)
To summarise, I can add LOR/HPD changes. But the others requires a bit more
work and can be done as a separate series.

I agree. These were defined before we started using the system wide safe
values and enforcing the capabilities on late/secondary CPUs. Now that
we have an infrastructure which makes sure that conflicts are handled,
we could relax the definitions a bit.
