Sure, we're inconsistent. I'd just prefer that there's *some* local ordering
here, as the patch is neither ordered as above nor by encoding:

Sysreg       BRBCR_EL2       2       4       9       0       0
..
Sysreg       BRBCR_EL1       2       1       9       0       0
..
Sysreg       BRBCR_EL12      2       5       9       0       0

Mark.
