No, because some of the work-arounds don't require setting bits in magic
registers.

Also realise this: we test for the revision of the CPU to which they're
applicable before attempting to set them.  If you have a work-around
enabled in the kernel, and it fails at boot, _that_ is an indicator not
that the kernel is doing something wrong, but that you need to ensure
that the work-around has been applied by the earlier stages.

It's not about "but platform X doesn't need it" - it's about platform X
not having the earlier stages updated to fix the errata.
