As it turns out, ARMv8 (DDI 0487E.a D4.4.5) also permits accesses made
with the MMU and caches off to hit in the caches, so to ensure that any
modifications we make before enabling the MMU are visible afterwards as
well, we should invalidate page tables right after allocation like we do
now on ARM, if the MMU is still disabled at that point.
