Sorry, no, this isn't going to work.
The lower two bits of this (bits 2 and 3) are explicitly designed to fit the C and B bits used in older architectures. Changing L_PTE_MT_VECTORS from having value '11' to '01' changes the functionality on older CPUs.
-- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTP is here! 40Mbps down 10Mbps up. Decent connectivity at last!
