In order for the kernel to protect itself, let's call the SSBD mitigation
implemented by the higher exception level (either hypervisor or firmware)
on each transition between userspace and kernel.

We must take the PSCI conduit into account in order to target the
right exception level, hence the introduction of a runtime patching
callback.

Shouldn't this also handle the case where there is no conduit?

See below comment in apply_ssbd for rationale.

If my system doesn't have SMCCC1.1, or the FW doesn't have an
implementation of ARCH_WORKAROUND_2, does this stay as a NOP?

It looks like this would be patched to an SMC, which would be fatal on
systems without EL3 FW.

... and thus kernel_entry would be fatal.
