4.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@xxxxxxx>


Commit 376133b7edc2 upstream.

We're about to rework the way ASIDs are allocated, switch_mm is
implemented and low-level kernel entry/exit is handled, so keep the
ARM64_SW_TTBR0_PAN code out of the way whilst we do the heavy lifting.

It will be re-enabled in a subsequent patch.

Enabling this option prevents the kernel from accessing
user-space memory directly by pointing TTBR0_EL1 to a reserved
