[PATCH v4 4/5] arm64: Verify CPU errata work arounds on hotplugged CPU

From: Suzuki K Poulose
Date: Fri Apr 22 2016 - 07:26:17 EST


CPU Errata work arounds are detected and applied to the
kernel code at boot time and the data is then freed up.
If a new hotplugged CPU requires a work around which
was not applied at boot time, there is nothing we can
do but simply fail the booting.
