I think this should be first in the series, since SCTLR2 can exist
without D128, but not vice-versa.

The SCTLR2_ELx registers reset to UNKNOWN values when the highest
implemented exception level is not ELx, so we need to initialize those
to safe values. Otherwise a kernel which is not aware of SCTLR2_ELx will
be subject to arbitrary behaviour as a result of the SCTLR2_ELx bits
which it will not have configured.

I know that we've failed to do that for other things (FGT and HCRX), and
those are latent bugs / mistakes in our appraoch that I'll see about
fixing.

Mark.
