May be you could use the enable() method added to struct arm64_cpu_capability
here to perform the above operation, added by James :

arm64: kernel: Add cpufeature 'enable' callback
I thought about this as well when looking at the patch but decided it's
better as it is. The "enable" method is meant to enable per-CPU features
(or workarounds) but here it is about GICv3, so we don't want to enable
for every CPU.
Right. I have been playing with a series where the checks are delayed until
all CPUs are brought up. But yes, I understand this usecase is slightly different
and may not match what I was thinking about.
May be, gic can have its own private list of _cpu_capability which it can run
over check_cpu_capabilities(), which it can run over and that will fall back to
what we have at the moment. So, may be what we have here is as good as we can
get.
Cheers
Suzuki
