d6b798097e Implement dynamic mitigation for CVE-2018-3639 on Cortex-A76
The Cortex-A76 implements SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_2 as defined in
"Firmware interfaces for mitigating cache speculation vulnerabilities
System Software on Arm Systems"[0].

Dynamic mitigation for CVE-2018-3639 is enabled/disabled by
setting/clearning bit 16 (Disable load pass store) of `CPUACTLR2_EL1`.

NOTE: The generic code that implements dynamic mitigation does not
currently implement the expected semantics when dispatching an SDEI
event to a lower EL.  This will be fixed in a separate patch.

abbffe98ed Add support for Cortex-Ares and Cortex-A76 CPUs
Both Cortex-Ares and Cortex-A76 CPUs use the ARM DynamIQ Shared Unit
(DSU).  The power-down and power-up sequences are therefore mostly
managed in hardware, and required software operations are simple.
