<content type='text'>
cpu-feature-registers.rst is missing a new line before a couple
of tables listing the visible fields, causing broken tables in
the HTML documentation generated by "make htmldocs". Fix this
by adding the missing new line.

<title>arm64: Add KRYO4XX silver CPU cores to erratum list 1530923 and 1024718</title>

KRYO4XX silver/LITTLE CPU cores with revision r1p0 are affected by
erratum 1530923 and 1024718, so add them to the respective list.
The variant and revision bits are implementation defined and are
different from the their Cortex CPU counterparts on which they are
based on, i.e., r1p0 is equivalent to rdpe.

The variant and revision bits are implementation defined and are

sve.rst describes a flag PR_SVE_SET_VL_INHERIT for the
PR_SVE_SET_VL prctl, but there is no flag of this name.  The flag
is shared between the _GET and _SET calls, so the _SET prefix was
dropped, giving the name PR_SVE_VL_INHERIT in the headers.

Fix it.

  massive set from Mauro toward the completion of the RST conversion. I
  *really* hope we are getting close to the end of this. Meanwhile,
  those patches reach pretty far afield to update document references

  will be, alas, more of the usual trivial merge conflicts.

  Beyond that we have more translations, improvements to the sphinx

exception of Cortex-A55, so let's sort it before adding more entries.

<content type='text'>
Although we require that the loaded kernel Image has been cleaned to the
PoC, we neglect to spell out the state of the I-cache. Although this
should be reasonably obvious, it doesn't hurt to be explicit.

Require that the I-cache doesn't hold any stale entries for the kernel
Image at boot.
