Subject: [PATCH] Remove ARM errata Workarounds 458693 and 460075
According to ARM, these errata exist only in a version of Cortex-A8
(r2p0) which was never built. Therefore, I believe there are no platforms
where this workaround should be enabled.

- This option enables the workaround for the 458693 Cortex-A8 (r2p0)
- erratum. For very specific sequences of memory operations, it is
- possible for a hazard condition intended for a cache line to instead
- be incorrectly associated with a different cache line. This false
- hazard might then cause a processor deadlock. The workaround enables
- the L1 caching of the NEON accesses and disables the PLD instruction
- in the ACTLR register. Note that setting specific bits in the ACTLR
- register may not be available in non-secure mode.

- help
- This option enables the workaround for the 460075 Cortex-A8 (r2p0)
- erratum. Any asynchronous access to the L2 cache may encounter a
- situation in which recent store transactions to the L2 cache are lost
- and overwritten with stale memory contents from external memory. The
- workaround disables the write-allocate mode for the L2 cache via the
- ACTLR register. Note that setting specific bits in the ACTLR register
- may not be available in non-secure mode.
