The reasons for this range from specific feature support (such as using Protected KVM on VHE HW, which is the main motivation for this work) to errata workaround (a feature is broken on a CPU and needs to be turned off, or rather not enabled). This series tries to offer a limited framework for this kind of problems, by allowing a set of options to be passed on the command-line and altering the feature set that the cpufeature subsystem exposes to the rest of the kernel. Note that this doesn't change anything for code that directly uses the CPU ID registers. The series completely changes the way a VHE-capable arm64 boots, by *always* booting non-VHE first, and then upgrading to VHE when deemed capable. Although this sounds scary, this is actually simple to implement (and I wish I had though of it five years ago). The "upgrade to VHE" path is then conditioned on the VHE feature not being disabled from the command-line. Said command-line parsing borrows a lot from the kaslr code, and subsequently allows the "nokaslr" option to be moved to the new infrastructure (though it all looks a bit... odd). This has been tested on multiple VHE and non-VHE systems.
