Hi all,

I got the Sashiko treatment on v3, so here's a quick respin to address
the BRBE thinko it found in the last patch.

Previous versions of the series are available at:

  v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260216130959.19317-1-will@kernel.org
  v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260227212136.7660-1-will@kernel.org
  v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260326141214.18990-1-will@kernel.org

Changes since v3 include:

  * Retain zeroing of *brbcr_el1 when saving BRBE state
  * Dropped R-b / T-b tags on the BRBE patch

Cheers,

Will
