Each workslot is always bound to a specific lcore there is no multi-core
contention to cause cache trashing as a result it is safe to remove the
WFE. Also, in dual workslot dequeue work will mostlikely be available on
the pair workslot making WFE impractical.

Also, this in-turn reduces the branch misses

Before:
	0 arm_spe_0/ts_enable=1,pct_enable=1,pa_enable=1,branch_filter=1,jitter=1,min_latency=0/
	0 dummy:u
	0 llc-miss
	0 tlb-miss
	853 branch-miss
	0 remote-access
	0 l1d-miss

After:
	0 arm_spe_0/ts_enable=1,pct_enable=1,pa_enable=1,branch_filter=1,jitter=1,min_latency=0/
	0 dummy:u
	0 llc-miss
	0 tlb-miss
	250 branch-miss
	0 remote-access
	0 l1d-miss

WFE Data:

0x4C40 - WFI_WFE_WAIT_CYCLES - Number of cycles waiting at a WFI or WFE instruction.

- WFE Cycles before the patch for Dual workslot
#perf stat -C 20 -e r4C40 sleep 1

               264      r4C40

- WFE Cycles for single workslot

Does SSO still signal EVENTI to exit from WFE?  Then the core ignore it?
Can this be disabled as WFE is removed?

All transactions on SSO bus take the core out of WFE.

This can't be disabled.
