Stores you say? There's an option for that (-st).

... then you don't need this lsl.

Same here (you can drop the shift with the above)

Do you have to store these backwards? I worry that it could defect some CPU
optimisations detecting streaming stores.

Can you lsr by 33 and use cbz for the 5 bits case?

I'm slightly confused here... Why do we access ICH_AP0R3_EL2 when we have 7
bits of priority? Shouldn't we have a check for 8 bits?

Bah, I'm sure I asked this before, but what is that dsb doing? I can't see
any memory accesses or cache maintenance that need to be completed.
