I'm probably missing something, but I can't convince myself that the host
will end up with the same mdcr_el2 value after deactivating traps after
this patch as before. We clearly now restore whatever we had when
activating traps (presumably whatever we configured at init_el2_state
time), but is that equivalent to what we had before with the masking and
ORing that this patch drops?

Thanks,
drew
