Hi Nate,

Thanks for the patch.

Good catch. We only clear the Config field at present, although I think
it would be better if we just did val = 0 instead of clearing the Config
field, and then just recreate all of the S1-related fields (ctxptr, fmt,
cdmax) if we're installing a stage-1 STE. The other STE fields aren't
treated as read-modify-write, so it's more consistent not to treat the
initial dword specially other than for determining ste_live.

What do you think?

Will
