Thanks for this; I have a couple of minor comments below, which I'll fix
up when applying.

Since we're touching this, I'll make it:
orr x0, x0, #(3 << 12)
> + cmp x1, #3

For consistency, I'll make this `b.lt 1f`

For legibility, I'll re-order this as:
// Do not trap PMSNEVFR_EL1 if present.
cmp x1, #3
b.lt 1f
orr x0, x0, #(1 << 36)
Thanks,
Mark.
