Early version of Cortex-A76 can end-up with corrupt TLBs if they
speculate an AT instruction while the S1/S2 system registers are in an
inconsistent state.

This can happen during guest context switch and when invalidating the
TLBs for other than the current VMID.

The workaround implemented in Xen will:
     - Use an empty stage-2 with a reserved VMID while context switching
     between 2 guests
     - Use an empty stage-2 with the VMID where TLBs need to be flushed
