Yes, I mean assigned, at least I got the first letter correct :)  All I
know is that vttbr_baddr_mask was still zero and checking for zero and
calling the set function gave it a value.

The addresses above are actually from my system, 64K page aligned on a
64K page kernel.  I did use virt_to_phys() and the kernel got a null
dereference and paniced, I didn't trace down where the panic was occuring.
