No, raw_write() won't set the masks -- it just writes 32 or 64 bits
to the field pointed to by fieldoffset. Which makes it a pretty
obfuscated way of saying env->cp15.c2_control = 0; and I don't
know why we do it this way currently. If we go to having a TTBCR
struct we should just set all the fields directly here I think.
