Hmm, or perhaps not... The hangs are all reported in the TLB maintenance 
calls, and by the time we get to the first of those we've already 
written the context banks with their initial disabled value, which 
implies that that particular use of WZR isn't a problem (despite being 
the only one which actually consumes the value stored; how bizarre).

Robin.
