Thanks for your review.
I don't think both TTBR0 accessors(64bit accessor and 32bit accessor) are valid on a CPU supporting
LPAE which the LPAE is enabled. Here is the description come form DDI0406C2c_arm_architecture_reference_manual.pdf
(=ARM® Architecture Reference Manual ARMv7-A and ARMv7-R edition) which you can get the document
by google "ARM® Architecture Reference Manual ARMv7-A and ARMv7-R edition". 

64-bit TTBR0 and TTBR1 format
The bit assignments for the 64-bit implementations of TTBR0 and TTBR1 are identical, and are:
Bits[63:56] UNK/SBZP.
ASID, bits[55:48]:
  An ASID for the translation table base address. The TTBCR.A1 field selects either TTBR0.ASID
or TTBR1.ASID.
Bits[47:40] UNK/SBZP.
BADDR, bits[39:x]:
   Translation table base address, bits[39:x]. Defining the translation table base address width on
page B4-1698 describes how x is defined.
The value of x determines the required alignment of the translation table, which must be aligned to
2x bytes.

Bits[x-1:0] UNK/SBZP.
...
To access a 64-bit TTBR0, software performs a 64-bit read or write of the CP15 registers with <CRm> set to c2 and
<opc1> set to 0. For example:
MRRC p15,0,<Rt>,<Rt2>, c2 ; Read 64-bit TTBR0 into Rt (low word) and Rt2 (high word)
MCRR p15,0,<Rt>,<Rt2>, c2 ; Write Rt (low word) and Rt2 (high word) to 64-bit TTBR0

So, I think if you access TTBR0/TTBR1 on CPU supporting LPAE, you must use "mcrr/mrrc" instruction
(__ACCESS_CP15_64). If you access TTBR0/TTBR1 on CPU supporting LPAE by "mcr/mrc" instruction 
which is 32bit version (__ACCESS_CP15), even if the CPU doesn't report error, you also lose the high
or low 32bit of the TTBR0/TTBR1.

I don't use the PAR, I change the defining PAR just because I think it will be wrong in
a non LPAE CPU.
