Almost works. The problem is that uaccess_ttbr0_{disable,enable}
assembly macros need to be patched for NOPs if we have cap bits
for ARM64_HAS_PAN or ARM64_WORKAROUND_QCOM_FALKOR_E1003. From
what I can tell, we have only ever had one bit there so doing
something like:

 	restore_irq \tmp2

won't work just like that because it's not a bitmask, just a raw
cap number. So I need to introduce another capability number that
combines the presence of HW_PAN and this errata? Looks like it
would be similar to ARM64_ALT_PAN_NOT_UAO.
