You don't seem to use those two defines. So I would drop them.


Yes, currently, I haven't used them. I would drop them.

I can't find this bit in the latest ARM ARM (0487C.a).

You can find it from here, Reserve0
http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.ddi0500e/BABJAHDA.html

That's the technical reference for the Cortex-A53 and your link point to the 32-bit SCTLR. It seems that is also defined in 64-bit SCTLR.

However, this bit has no name in the ARM ARM, so I would rather not give a name here because it may be re-purposed in the future.

What's this DSB for?


Guarantee the create_pagetables has been done before start mmu.

Can you add a comment on top explaining it?
