arm: AArch64 report cache size correctly when reading CTR_EL0
Trying to read MISCREG_CTR_EL0 on AArch64 returned 0 as is was not implmemented. With that an operating system relying on the cache line sizes reported in order to manage the caches would (a) panic given the returned value 0 is not valid (high bit is RES1) or (b) worst case would assume a cache line size of 4 doing a tremendous amount of extra instruction work (including fetching). Return the same values as for ARMv7 as the fields seem to be the same, or RES0/1 seem to be reported accordingly for AArch64 In collaboration with: Andrew Turner Testing Done: Checked on FreeBSD boots with extra printfs; also observed a reduction of a factor of about 10 in instruction fetches for a simple micro-test.
