Subject: [PATCH 7/7] arm64: Enable CONFIG_ARM64_TTBR0_PAN
This patch adds the Kconfig option to enable support for TTBR0 PAN. The
option is default off because of a slight performance hit when enabled,
caused by the additional TTBR0_EL1 switching during user access
operations or exception entry/exit code.
