For the time being, it is ok to just fix t0sz restore which means
that either you avoid overwriting tcr_el1.t0sz in cpu_do_resume()
or you force the t0sz value field to be whatever value is already
present in the register (ie set-up in __cpu_setup through
tcr_set_idmap_t0sz) and finally set it to correct the default value
in __cpu_suspend_exit() using the correct procedure:
- set reserved ttbr0
- flush tlb
- cpu_set_default_tcr_t0sz
Thanks,
Lorenzo
