Some fields in SCTLR_EL1 are UNKNOWN at reset and the arm64 boot requirements, as stated by Linux in Documentation/arm64/booting.rst, do not specify a particular value for all the fields. Do not rely on the good will of the hypervisor and userspace to set SCTLR_EL1 to a sane value (by their definition of sane) and set SCTLR_EL1 explicitely before running setup(). This will ensure that all tests are performed with the hardware set up identically, regardless of the KVM or VMM versions.
