It does, given the number of features that we've got in the pipeline
that require higher EL enablement I was actually wondering if we might
be better off going further and making this more of a standard idiom for
how we add any feature that requires setup at EL2/3 to be functional so
we don't need to go add overrides separately and most likely get them
backported or whatever. There's the AMU which needs CPTR_EL[23].TAM for
example.

I simply can't understand what you're saying here, must be something
inconceivable.
