The ARM erratum 832075 applies to certain revisions of Cortex-A57,
one of the workarounds is to change device loads into using
load-aquire semantics.
This is achieved using the alternatives framework.

The ARM errata 819472, 826319, 827319 and 824069 define the same
workaround for these hardware issues in certain Cortex-A53 parts.
Use the new alternatives framework and the CPU MIDR detection to
patch "cache clean" into "cache clean and invalidate" instructions if
an affected CPU is detected at runtime.

After each CPU has been started, we iterate through a list of
CPU features or bugs to detect CPUs which need (or could benefit
from) kernel code patches.
For each feature/bug there is a function which checks if that
particular CPU is affected. We will later provide some more generic
functions for common things like testing for certain MIDR ranges.
We do this for every CPU to cover big.LITTLE systems properly as
well.
If a certain feature/bug has been detected, the capability bit will
be set, so that later the call to apply_alternatives() will trigger
the actual code patching.
