arm64: protect alternatives workarounds with Kconfig options
Not all of the errata we have workarounds for apply necessarily to all
SoCs, so people compiling a kernel for one very specific SoC may not
need to patch the kernel.
Introduce a new submenu in the "Platform selection" menu to allow
people to turn off certain bugs if they are not affected. By default
all of them are enabled.
Normal users or distribution kernels shouldn't bother to deselect any
bugs here, since the alternatives framework will take care of
patching them in only if needed.

204 | This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM | ||
205 | erratum 826319 on Cortex-A53 parts up to r0p2 with an AMBA 4 ACE or | ||
206 | AXI master interface and an L2 cache. | ||
207 | |||
208 | If a Cortex-A53 uses an AMBA AXI4 ACE interface to other processors | ||
209 | and is unable to accept a certain write via this interface, it will | ||
210 | not progress on read data presented on the read data channel and the | ||
211 | system can deadlock. | ||
212 | |||
213 | The workaround promotes data cache clean instructions to | ||
214 | data cache clean-and-invalidate. | ||
215 | Please note that this does not necessarily enable the workaround, | ||
216 | as it depends on the alternative framework, which will only patch | ||

226 | erratum 827319 on Cortex-A53 parts up to r0p2 with an AMBA 5 CHI | ||
227 | master interface and an L2 cache. | ||
228 | |||
229 | Under certain conditions this erratum can cause a clean line eviction | ||
230 | to occur at the same time as another transaction to the same address | ||
