Applied to target-arm.next, thanks.

I'm not sure the TCR struct's precalculation of mask and base_mask
is still earning its keep as an optimization. We only use them in
get_level1_table_address() which is old-style v5/v6 page tables only,
and all it's saving us is a bitfield extract and some shifts, which
is peanuts compared to everything else we do in a page table walk.
Perhaps (not for 6.1) we could drop it entirely.
