Nice catch. This unfortunately shows how little of the userspace
interface we've been actually using so far. I suppose you found this by
playing with save/restore?

Please consider adding something like "in the 64bit case only".

How about this (untested) alternative possibility:

#define CRm64(_x)	.CRn = _x, .is64 = 1,
	{ CRm64( 2), Op1( 0), NULL, reset_unknown64, c2_TTBR0 },
	{ CRm64( 2), Op1( 1), NULL, reset_unknown64, c2_TTBR1 },

It has the benefit of still showing CRm as being the official field, and
hide the ugliness into the macro.

Still ugly though...
