And even if we *were* to just try papering over the observed extent of
the issue, I'd still be inclined to confine it to arm-smmu.c where the
impact is finite and minimal - of the 4 instances of writel(0) there, 3
of them don't care what the data is (so could just reuse the base
register or similar) and the other one already has a zero in a GPR to
hand by construction.
