The NVIDIA Denver CPU also needs a PSCI call to harden the branch
predictor.

bpi.S was introduced as we were starting to build the Spectre v2
mitigation framework, and it was rather unclear that it would
become strictly KVM specific.

Now that the picture is a lot clearer, let's move the content
of that file to hyp-entry.S, where it actually belong.

The very existence of __smccc_workaround_1_hvc_* is a thinko, as
KVM will never use a HVC call to perform the branch prediction
invalidation. Even as a nested hypervisor, it would use an SMC
instruction.

Let's get rid of it.

<title>arm64: capabilities: Rework EL2 vector hardening entry</title>

Since 5e7951ce19ab ("arm64: capabilities: Clean up midr range helpers"),
capabilities must be represented with a single entry. If multiple
CPU types can use the same capability, then they need to be enumerated
in a list.

The EL2 hardening stuff (which affects both A57 and A72) managed to
escape the conversion in the above patch thanks to the 4.17 merge
window. Let's fix it now.

<title>arm64: KVM: Use SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 for Falkor BP hardening</title>

The function SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 was introduced as part of SMC
V1.1 Calling Convention to mitigate CVE-2017-5715. This patch uses
the standard call SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 for Falkor chips instead
of Silicon provider service ID 0xC2001700.

     elide instruction and data cache maintenance when writing out
     instructions

   - Removal of the large memory model which resulted in suboptimal
     codegen by the compiler and increased the use of literal pools,
     which could potentially be used as ROP gadgets since they are
     mapped as executable

   - Rework of forced signal delivery so that the siginfo_t is
     well-formed and handling of show_unhandled_signals is consolidated
     and made consistent between different fault types

   - More siginfo cleanup based on the initial patches from Eric

MIDR_ALL_VERSIONS is changing, and won't have the same meaning
in 4.17, and the right thing to use will be ERRATA_MIDR_ALL_VERSIONS.

In order to cope with the merge window, let's add a compatibility
macro that will allow a relatively smooth transition, and that
can be removed post 4.17-rc1.

An allnoconfig build complains about unused symbols due to functions
that are called via conditional cpufeature and cpu_errata table entries.

Annotate these as __maybe_unused if they are likely to be generic, or
predicate their compilation on the same option as the table entry if
they are specific to a given alternative.
