    Some CPUS may benefit from using a dynamic mitigation approach for
    CVE-2018-3639.  A new SMC interface is defined to allow software
    executing in lower ELs to enable or disable the mitigation for their
    execution context.
    
    It should be noted that regardless of the state of the mitigation for
    lower ELs, code executing in EL3 is always mitigated against
    CVE-2018-3639.
    
    NOTE: This change is a compatibility break for any platform using
    the declare_cpu_ops_workaround_cve_2017_5715 macro.  Migrate to
    the declare_cpu_ops_wa macro instead.
