- * We avoid running the post_ttbr_update_workaround here because the
- * user and kernel ASIDs don't have conflicting mappings, so any
- * "blessing" as described in:
- *
- * http://lkml.kernel.org/r/56BB848A.6060603@caviumnetworks.com
- *
- * will not hurt correctness. Whilst this may partially defeat the
- * point of using split ASIDs in the first place, it avoids
- * the hit of invalidating the entire I-cache on every return to
- * userspace.
+ * We avoid running the post_ttbr_update_workaround here because
+ * it's only needed by Cavium ThunderX, which requires KPTI to be
+ * disabled.
