      Armv8.5 introduces the field CSV2 to register ID_AA64PFR0_EL1. It can
      have the following 3 values:
      
      - 0: Branch targets trained in one hardware described context may affect
           speculative execution in a different hardware described context. In
           some CPUs it may be needed to apply mitigations.
      
      - 1: Branch targets trained in one hardware described context can only
           affect speculative execution in a different hardware described
           context in a hard-to-determine way. No mitigation required.
      
      - 2: Same as 1, but the device is also aware of SCXTNUM_ELx register
           contexts. The TF doesn't use the registers, so there is no
           difference with 1.
      
      The field CSV2 was originally introduced in the TRM of the Cortex-A76
      before the release of the Armv8.5 architecture. That TRM only mentions
      the meaning of values 0 and 1. Because of this, the code only checks if
      the field has value 1 to know whether to enable or disable the
      mitigations.
      
      This patch makes it aware of value 2 as well. Both values 1 and 2
      disable the mitigation, and 0 enables it.
