Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/1] AArch64: TCR_TG1_64K incorrectly sets TCR_EL1 bits [31:30]

That makes sense and I agree, it's better to fix it now so that it
will be easier to add 16K paging later (on a side note is there any
reason not to add it now if someone was willing to do the work?).
Your patch is exactly the solution that I had in my head to fix it if
the spec was correct.

There was talk in another thread about the possibility of adding a
pagetable-4K-hwdef.h and pagetable-64K-hwdef.h.  I think this is
another example of why that might be a good idea as this stuff could
be moved out of proc.S as to be bit more clean:

+#ifdef CONFIG_ARM64_64K_PAGES
+#define TCR_TG_FLAGS   TCR_TG0_64K | TCR_TG1_64K
+#else
+#define TCR_TG_FLAGS   TCR_TG0_4K | TCR_TG1_4K
+#endif
