Actually the values of CPU_AP*_EL1 are exceeding the immediate range 
(i.e 512), so this was done to keep the immediate offset within the range.
The other way would have been to calculate the destination register but 
these would add one more add instruction everywhere.
I should have mentioned them as comments somewhere.

Yes agreed.
