That's a good point. But Op0 isn't defined for AArch32, the value is
simply hardcoded in kvm_handle_cp15_32/kvm_handle_cp15_64, which is
obviously horribly broken.

I'll work on a fix for that, thanks noticing it.

Does this series otherwise fix your L3 cache issue (assuming you stick
to 64bit guests)?

Cheers,
