arm64: Add command-line override for ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1.ECV
It appears that relatively popular hardware out there implements
the CNTPOFF_EL2 variant of FEAT_ECV, advertises it via ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1,
but cannot be bothered to set SCR_EL3.ECVEn to 1.
You would probably think that "this is fine, EL3 will take the
trap on access to CNTPOFF_EL2 and flip the ECVEn bit", as that's
what a semi-decent firmware implementation would do.
But no. None of that. This particular implementation takes the trap,
considers its purpose in life, decides that it has none, and *RESETS*
the system.
Yes, x1e001de, I'm talking about you.
In order to allow this machine to be promoted slightly above the
level of a glorified door-stop, add a new "id_aa64mmfr0.ecv" override.
allowing the kernel to pretend this option was never there.
