arm64: protect alternatives workarounds with Kconfig options
Not all of the errata we have workarounds for apply necessarily to all SoCs, so people compiling a kernel for one very specific SoC may not need to patch the kernel. Introduce a new submenu in the "Platform selection" menu to allow people to turn off certain bugs if they are not affected. By default all of them are enabled. Normal users or distribution kernels shouldn't bother to deselect any bugs here, since the alternatives framework will take care of patching them in only if needed.

+ bool "Cortex-A53: 826319: System might deadlock if a write cannot complete until read data is accepted"
+ default y
+ help
+ This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
+ erratum 826319 on Cortex-A53 parts up to r0p2 with an AMBA 4 ACE or
+ AXI master interface and an L2 cache.
+
+ If a Cortex-A53 uses an AMBA AXI4 ACE interface to other processors
+ and is unable to accept a certain write via this interface, it will
+ not progress on read data presented on the read data channel and the
+ system can deadlock.
+
+ The workaround promotes data cache clean instructions to
+ data cache clean-and-invalidate.
+ Please note that this does not necessarily enable the workaround,
+ as it depends on the alternative framework, which will only patch
+ the kernel if an affected CPU is detected.
+
+ If unsure, say Y.

+ help
+ This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
+ erratum 827319 on Cortex-A53 parts up to r0p2 with an AMBA 5 CHI
+ master interface and an L2 cache.
+
+ Under certain conditions this erratum can cause a clean line eviction
+ to occur at the same time as another transaction to the same address
+ on the AMBA 5 CHI interface, which can cause data corruption if the
+ interconnect reorders the two transactions.
+

+ This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM
+ erratum 824069 on Cortex-A53 parts up to r0p2 when it is connected

+
+ If a Cortex-A53 processor is executing a store or prefetch for

+ This option adds an alternative code sequence to work around ARM

+
+ Affected Cortex-A57 parts might deadlock when exclusive load/store
