[PATCH 0/6] arm64: Disabling SVE/SME from the command-line

[Marc Zyngier]

This very short series reworks the way arm64 CPUs boot (yes, again) in
order to opt out of some features early at boot, on top of the
existing VHE-forced-into-nVHE use case and using the same idreg
override infrastructure.

The main victim here is SVE, because it seems that people have all
sort of broken firmware out there, and that a distribution kernel
cannot boot on that. And since we have a dependency between SVE and
SME, disabling the former also disables the latter.

The only positive aspect about this series is that it unifies the way
the VHE-stuck CPUs boot with way the full-fat CPUs do (everybody takes
a trip to EL1 before coming back to EL2, instead of the stay-at-EL2
approach we currently have). A small victory, which allows us to
control the EL2 setup code more easily.

Note that the SME code is totally untested (I don't have a model with
that), but it looks obviously correct ;-), and that my SVE "platform"
has a working firmware...

Marc Zyngier (6):
  arm64: Rename the VHE switch to "finalise_el2"
  arm64: Save state of HCR_EL2.E2H before switch to EL1
  arm64: Allow sticky E2H when entering EL1
  arm64: Factor out checking of a feature against the override into a
    macro
  arm64: Add the arm64.nosme command line option
  arm64: Add the arm64.nosve command line option
