Since ARMv8.0 the upper 32 bits of ESR_ELx have been RES0, and recently some of the upper bits gained a meaning and can be non-zero. For example, when FEAT_LS64 is implemented, ESR_ELx[36:32] contain ISS2, which for an ST64BV or ST64BV0 can be non-zero. This can be seen in ARM DDI 0487G.b, page D13-3145, section D13.2.37. Generally, we must not rely on RES0 bit remaining zero in future, and when extracting ESR_ELx.EC we must mask out all other bits. [...]
Applied to next, thanks!
