I am told that these two registers are not expected to change value
once the MMU is on.  This presents something of a problem where the
secure monitor is involved, because what that means is that this
really needs to be done before we get to C code.

OMAP has similar issues where it needs to restore the L2 cache
setup via SMC calls before the MMU is enabled, and they deal with
this via some hand-crafted assembly code which runs prior to calling
into cpu_resume.
