We can't use RDONLY as this would have value 0 as the HAP attributes
(stage 2 overriding stage 1 translation attributes). Unless you add 4
definitions like NOACCESS, RDONLY, WRONLY and RDWR to cover all the
bit combinations.

L_PTE_HYP may be confused with the Stage 1 Hyp translation which is
different from the guest Stage 2.

But I have another minor nit - just write them in the ascending bit
order as other definitions in this file.
