Architecture compliant TTBR changing sequence

On newer architectures (ARMv6, ARMv7), the depth of the prefetch and
branch prediction is implementation defined and there is a small risk
of wrong ASID tagging when changing TTBR0 before setting the new
context id. The recommended solution is to set a reserved ASID during
TTBR changing. This patch reserves ASID 0.
