Hello Peter,

In the previous version of this patch series I included the fix for setting
CP10,CP11 bits
in arm_set_cpu_on(), which is now in master (0c7f8c43daf65560). While that
worked, I did not
realize that setting those bits require rebuilding the flags. Philippe
reported this [1] initially,
later on during review we discussed [2] and attempted to correct it [3].

Could you please have a short look at this? Right now I don't see anymore
issues, but I'm just not very familiar with this area of the code.

Regards,
Niek
