Clang is pickier than GCC for the register size in asm statement. It
expects the register size to match the value size.

The instructions msr/mrs are expecting a 64-bit register. This means the
implementation of the 32-bit helpers is not correct. The easiest
solution is to implement the 32-bit helpers using the 64-bit helpers.

(I don't have an opinion on how to fix the issue, but)

Are SYSREGS actually always 64 bits even on arm32, and these helpers
just a shorthand for the lower 32 bits, or is this an
effectively-unnecessary constraint imposed by Clang?

This code is Arm64 specific. On Arm64, system registers are always 
64-bits, and therefore the instructions msr/mrs require a 64-bit register.

So the complain from Clang is valid here. It happens that some of the 
registers have the top 32-bit RES0 in current architecture. One could 
argue that this is not very future-proof and we should get rid of {READ, 
WRITE)_SYSREG32.

Unfortunately, the callers are expecting a 32-bit value. I need to 
investigate all the callers to ensure no one is transforming the value 
to 64-bit again. I don't really want to block clang support on that, so 
I have added an action for fixing this later on.

Cheers,
