James Clark 36f65f9b7a perf docs arm_spe: Clarify more SPE requirements related to KPTI
The question of exactly when KPTI needs to be disabled comes up a lot
because it doesn't always need to be done. Add the relevant kernel
function and some examples that describe the behavior.

Also describe the interrupt requirement and that no error message will
be printed if this isn't met.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

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.
