Seems like we can read (but not write) this bit from non-secure. Should
we test if it's set somewhere during boot and warn the user if not?

There's some potential for code shaing with cpu_v7_switch_mm here,
either via a macro or by simply calling cpu_v7_switch_mm from
cpu_ca15_switch_mm, but I'm not sure if we care?

uber nit: The wording is weird here, how about "Cortex-A15 requires
an..." ?
