Would it be preferable to avoid the explicit casts:

	stop_machine_cpuslocked(__do_stf_barrier_fixups, &types, NULL);

...

static int __do_stf_barrier_fixups(void *data)
{
	enum stf_barrier_type *types = data;

 	do_stf_entry_barrier_fixups(*types);
 	do_stf_exit_barrier_fixups(*types);

?

post_mobility_fixup() does cpus_read_unlock() before calling
pseries_setup_security_mitigations(), I think that will need to be
changed?
