Subject: [PATCH v3 14/17] arm64: add __nocfi to functions that jump to a
 physical address

Disable CFI checking for functions that switch to linear mapping and
make an indirect call to a physical address, since the compiler only
understands virtual addresses and the CFI check for such indirect calls
would always fail.
