+	  On Cavium ThunderX2, a load, store or prefetch instruction between a
+	  TTBR update and the corresponding context synchronizing operation can
+	  cause a spurious Data Abort to be delivered to any hardware thread in
+	  the CPU core.
+
+	  Work around the issue by avoiding the problematic code sequence and
+	  trapping KVM guest TTBRx_EL1 writes to EL2 when SMT is enabled. The
+	  trap handler performs the corresponding register access, skips the
+	  instruction and ensures context synchronization by virtue of the
+	  exception return.
