Why callee-saved? Do you preserve it anywhere here?

Since we set GCR_EL1 on exception entry and return, why is this needed?
We don't have a per-kernel thread GCR_EL1, it's global to all threads,
so I think cpu_switch_to() should not be touched.

Could we make this __ro_after_init?

I'd rather use GENMASK here, it is more readable.
