[PATCH v4 18/26] arm64: head: record CPU boot mode after enabling the MMU

Mon Jun 13 07:45:42 PDT 2022


In order to avoid having to touch memory with the MMU and caches
disabled, and therefore having to invalidate it from the caches
explicitly, just defer storing the value until after the MMU has been
turned on, unless we are giving up with an error.

While at it, move the associated variable definitions into C code.
