The kernel detects and uses some of the features based on the boot CPU and expects that all the following CPUs conform to it. e.g, with VHE and the boot CPU running at EL2, the kernel decides to keep the kernel running at EL2. If another CPU is brought up without this capability, we use custom hooks (via check_early_cpu_features()) to handle it. To handle such capabilities add support for detecting and enabling capabilities based on the boot CPU. A bit is added to indicate if the capability should be detected early on the boot CPU. The infrastructure then ensures that such capabilities are probed and "enabled" early on in the boot CPU and, enabled on the subsequent CPUs.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
