This is the last element in .mmuoff.data.write, which is padded to 2K,
so luckily we don't clobber anything else (and don't need a backport).

For consistency with __boot_cpu_mode, we could instead change the c
declaration to int, and fix up the calls to
update_early_cpu_boot_status, to use a w register, but either way:
