From: Will Deacon <redacted> commit 18011eac28c7 upstream. When unmapping the kernel at EL0, we use tpidrro_el0 as a scratch register during exception entry from native tasks and subsequently zero it in the kernel_ventry macro. We can therefore avoid zeroing tpidrro_el0 in the context-switch path for native tasks using the entry trampoline.
