I know that was my code but I'm wondering why the (1<<4) rather than
just a plain 16.

You could also move the comment about TxSZ in proc-v7-3level.S, it makes
it easier to figure out why TTBR1_SIZE is defined this way.

Higher up in this file there is a cmp with a "branch below" comment. You
should remove that as well since the 9001 branch was removed.
