In general, what characterizes as "special" for a register to use
ARM_CP_SPECIAL_MASK?
And specifically for svcr_write, it seems to me that
helper_set_pstate_{sm,za} and arm_reset_sve_state are straight-forward
enough that they could (if it made sense) be used by non-tcg code
(except they eventually call vfp_set_fpscr that still needs to be
split).
