The CTR_EL0 register has some bits which allow the implementation to
tell the guest that it does not need to do cache maintenance for
data-to-instruction coherence and instruction-to-data coherence.
QEMU doesn't emulate caches and so our cache maintenance insns are
all NOPs.

We already have some models of specific CPUs where we set these bits
(e.g.  the Neoverse V1), but the 'max' CPU still uses the settings it
inherits from Cortex-A57.  Set the bits for 'max' as well, so the
guest doesn't need to do unnecessary work.
