Subject[PATCH stable-4.9] Documentation: Document arm64 kpti control
Date
From: Jeremy Linton <jeremy.linton@arm.com>

commit de19055564c8f8f9d366f8db3395836da0b2176c upstream

For a while Arm64 has been capable of force enabling
or disabling the kpti mitigations. Lets make sure the
documentation reflects that.
