Oops, sorry I totally forgot about that change...

I believe the register will be consistent (0) even from a guest
perspective with the current patch when AArch32 isn't supported
because read_id_reg() checks that with sysreg_visible_as_raz()
in the beginning.

I withdraw my comment, and the patch looks good to me.
