post_ttbr_update_workaround was used for fix Cavium erratum 2745? so does that means, if we do not have this erratum, we do not need arm64_apply_bp_hardening()? when mm_swtich and kernel_exit?
From the code logical, it seems not only related to erratum 2745 anymore? should it be renamed?
Thanks Yisheng
