A new feature of SMCCC 1.1 is that it offers firmware-based CPU workarounds. In particular, SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 provides BP hardening for CVE-2017-5715. If the host has some mitigation for this issue, report that we deal with it using SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1, as we apply the host workaround on every guest exit.
