Subject: [PATCH 4.9 34/66] arm64: Branch predictor hardening for Cavium ThunderX2

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit f3d795d9b360523beca6d13ba64c2c532f601149 upstream.

Use PSCI based mitigation for speculative execution attacks targeting
the branch predictor. We use the same mechanism as the one used for
Cortex-A CPUs, we expect the PSCI version call to have a side effect
of clearing the BTBs.
