[PATCH v2 0/6] An alternative series for asymmetric AArch32 systems

Hello again,
This is version two of the ravingly popular series I previously posted
here:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201021104611.2744565-1-qais.yousef@arm.com
Changes since v1 include:
* Fix setting of compat hwcaps
* Simplify sysfs code to use DEVICE_ATTR_RO()
* Allow onlining of late CPUs in face of mismatch
* Use a static key in the context-switch path
* Avoid printing that we detected 32-bit EL0 support when we didn't
This has unfortunately introduced more complexity than I would've liked,
but it also seems to be free of any rough edges.
I haven't yet tackled the execve() problem raised by Suren. I've got some
local hacks, but nothing I'm happy with yet. They will come as follow-up
patches in any case.
As before, I don't think we should merge this stuff until we've figured
out what's going on in Android, but hopefully we can reach some agreement
on the basics before then.
Cheers,
Will
