After much head scratching, I finally came to the conclusion that the
above is safe, as a write to PSTATE is guaranteed not to be visible to
instructions before it in program order (and the write to PMR is
itself self-synchronising). I guess that a reference to the ARM ARM is
in order here (no pun intended...).
