+- ``ENABLE_MPAM_FOR_LOWER_ELS``: Boolean option to enable lower ELs to use MPAM
+ feature. MPAM is an optional Armv8.4 extension that enables various memory
+ system components and resources to define partitions; software running at
+ various ELs can assign themselves to desired partition to control their
+ performance aspects.
+
+ When this option is set to ``1``, EL3 allows lower ELs to access their own
+ MPAM registers without trapping into EL3. This option doesn't make use of
+ partitioning in EL3, however. Platform initialisation code should configure
+ and use partitions in EL3 as required. This option defaults to ``0``.

- ``ENABLE_PMF``: Boolean option to enable support for optional Performance
Measurement Framework(PMF). Default is 0.
