It's not clear to me whether this needs a cc stable. What do you think? I
suppose that it really depends on how confused e.g. QEMU gets.

It seems slightly odd to me that we don't enforce this for *all* the
registers when running as a 32-bit guest. Couldn't userspace be equally
confused by a 64-bit lr or sp?
