Presumably this should be two masks, one to find RES0 bits that are set, and are
assumed to have some new meaning, and another to find RES1 bits that have been
cleared.

You're right - __cpu_setup() sets a guaranteed-incompatible t0sz value.
I removed it because all this now gets executed from the swapper page tables,
not the idmap, but there is more to it than that.
