Thanks for your review.
You are right, all __ACCESS_CP15* are cp15 registers. I splited normal cp15 register
(such as TTBR0/TTBR1/SCTLR and so on) and virtualizaton cp15 registers(such as VTTBR/
CNTV_CVAL/HCR) because I didn't think we need use those virtualization cp15 registers
in non virtualization system.

But now I think all __ACCESS_CP15* move to cp15.h may be a better choise.

I am sorry that I didn't point why I need to define TTBR0/ TTBR1/PAR in to different way
between CONFIG_ARM_LPAE and non CONFIG_ARM_LPAE.
The following description is the reason:
Here is the description come from DDI0406C2c_arm_architecture_reference_manual.pdf:

B4.1.155 TTBR0, Translation Table Base Register 0, VMSA
...
The Multiprocessing Extensions change the TTBR0 32-bit register format.
The Large Physical Address Extension extends TTBR0 to a 64-bit register. In an
implementation that includes the Large Physical Address Extension, TTBCR.EAE
determines which TTBR0 format is used:
EAE==0 32-bit format is used. TTBR0[63:32] are ignored.
EAE==1 64-bit format is used.

B4.1.156 TTBR1, Translation Table Base Register 1, VMSA
...
The Multiprocessing Extensions change the TTBR0 32-bit register format.
The Large Physical Address Extension extends TTBR1 to a 64-bit register. In an
implementation that includes the Large Physical Address Extension, TTBCR.EAE
determines which TTBR1 format is used:
EAE==0 32-bit format is used. TTBR1[63:32] are ignored.
EAE==1 64-bit format is used.

B4.1.154 TTBCR, Translation Table Base Control Register, VMSA
...
EAE, bit[31], if implementation includes the Large Physical Address Extension
Extended Address Enable. The meanings of the possible values of this bit are:
0 Use the 32-bit translation system, with the Short-descriptor translation table format. In
this case, the format of the TTBCR is as described in this section.
1 Use the 40-bit translation system, with the Long-descriptor translation table format. In
this case, the format of the TTBCR is as described in TTBCR format when using the
Long-descriptor translation table format on page B4-1692.

B4.1.112 PAR, Physical Address Register, VMSA
If the implementation includes the Large Physical Address Extension, the PAR is extended
to be a 64-bit register and:
* The 64-bit PAR is used:
- when using the Long-descriptor translation table format
- in an implementation that includes the Virtualization Extensions, for the result
of an ATS1Cxx operation performed from Hyp mode.
* The 32-bit PAR is used when using the Short-descriptor translation table format. In
this case, PAR[63:32] is UNK/SBZP.
Otherwise, the PAR is a 32-bit register.
