Is there a reason not to include TCMA into the set of bits that userland can
control with this prcrl?

I know that ordinarily TCR_ELx requires expensive syncing, but for this
particular field there is a note about "software may change this control bit on
a context switch".  Which I take to mean that the usual TLB-related syncing may
be omitted.
