I am sorry. My test is fault. I only defined TTBR0 as __ACCESS_CP15_64,
but I don't use the definition TTBR0 as __ACCESS_CP15_64.

Now I use the definition TTBR0 as __ACCESS_CP15_64 on CPU supporting
LPAE(vexpress_a9), I find it doesn't work and report undefined instruction error
when execute "mrrc" instruction.

So, you are right that 64bit accessor of TTBR0 cannot work on LPAE.
