NIT: I think it misses a newline on the second line. It looks strange to
see the first line short and not the second.

I would add __init.

VTCR_EL2 is a 32 bit register. I would use uint32_t for the variable type.

This can become __init now.

Assuming there is no CPU hotplug, which IIRC is not yet support, this is
only depends on the SMP bring up.  Can we move this before do_initcalls?
So if we need to initialize some code that is relying on VTCR_EL2, it
will be possible.

I was mostly thinking about IOMMU drivers where a similar trick will be
necessary sooner or later.
