Having a signed (1 << 31) constant for TCR_EL2_RES1 and CPTR_EL2_TCPAC
causes the upper 32-bit to be set to 1 when assigning them to a 64-bit
variable. Bit 32 in TCR_EL2 is no longer RES0 in ARMv8.7: with FEAT_LPA2
it changes the meaning of bits 49:48 and 9:8 in the stage 1 EL2 page
table entries. As a result of the sign-extension, a non-VHE kernel can
no longer boot on a model with ARMv8.7 enabled.
CPTR_EL2 still has the top 32 bits RES0 but we should preempt any future
problems
Make these top bit constants unsigned as per commit df655b75c4
("arm64: KVM: Avoid setting the upper 32 bits of VTCR_EL2 to 1").

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
