Hello Scott,

On AmpereOne AC04, updates to HCR_EL2 can rarely corrupt simultaneous

Only instruction initiated translations are vulnerable, not translations
from prefetches for example. A DSB before the store to HCR_EL2 is
sufficient to prevent older instructions from hitting the window for
corruption, and an ISB after is sufficient to prevent younger
instructions from hitting the window for corruption.

I see that this patch enables the workaround only for AmpereOne AC04 systems. Do you happen to know if the underlying issue for which this patch was introduced, impacts (or can impact) AmpereOne AC03 systems too:

CPU implementer    : 0xc0
CPU architecture: 8
CPU variant    : 0x0
CPU part    : 0xac3
CPU revision    : 1
