The Kryo cores share errata 1009 with Falkor, so add their model
definitions and enable it for them as well.

Changes since v1:
- Use is_kryo_midr(), rather than listing each individual model.

Cheers, I've queued this up as a fix.

I also updated the E1009 entry in silicon-errata.rst but, in doing so, I
noticed that E1041 is listed there which apparently also affects
Kry^H^H^HHydra [1].

At which point, maybe we should rename both Kryo and Falkor in the tree
so that we consistently refer to Hydra as the underlying micro-architecture.
Obviously not something for 5.4, but it would sure help me to understand
what's doing on here.

Thoughts?

Unfortunately, Falkor is also an underlying micro-architecture, it just happens to be strongly related to Hydra so a fair amount of the errata affect both.

I don't want to be difficult. For ultimate "correctness", Falkor and Hydra should probably be separate, however the Falkor architecture is not widespread and unlikely to have much churn going forward. So I think if it makes life easier for you, all the Falkor stuff can probably be scrubbed and just merged into Hydra.
