Cores that predate the introduction of ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.CSV3 to the ARMv8 architecture have this field set to 0, even of some of them are not affected by the vulnerability. The kernel maintains a list of unaffected cores (A53, A55 and a few others) so that it doesn't impose an expensive mitigation uncessarily. As we do for CSV2, let's expose the CSV3 property to guests that run on HW that is effectively not vulnerable. This can be reset to zero by writing to the ID register from userspace, ensuring that VMs can be migrated despite the new property being set.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
