The only chance I see is to move it all to the driver and adding
enable() calls to the caps in gicv3_errata:

static void gicv3_enable_quirks(void)
{
        check_cpu_capabilities(gicv3_errata, "enabling workaround for");
}

Here the code is kept in the driver and called during driver init.

But current solution looks more elegant and simpler to me. So I would
not change it.
