The current implementation for arm64 and therefore API for the prctl() is that whatever combination of flags is specified will be set, this means that setting the status to something that does not include _ENABLE will result in disabling and we don't need a separate flag for disable. We have use cases that make active use of disabling at runtime. Please delete unneeded context from replies, it makes it much easier to find new content.
