This probably isn't the right fix, since this will mean that early mappings
will be global and we'll have to go through the painful page-table rewrite
logic when the cap gets enabled for KASLR-enabled kernels.

Maybe a better bodge is something like:

diff --git a/arch/arm64/kernel/cpufeature.c b/arch/arm64/kernel/cpufeature.c
index 0b6715625cf6..ad10f55b7bb9 100644
--- a/arch/arm64/kernel/cpufeature.c
+++ b/arch/arm64/kernel/cpufeature.c
@@ -1085,6 +1085,8 @@ static bool unmap_kernel_at_el0(const struct arm64_cpu_capabilities *entry,
if (!__kpti_forced) {
str = "KASLR";
__kpti_forced = 1;
+ } else if (__kpti_forced < 0) {
+ arm64_use_ng_mappings = false;
}
}

Will
