Stage 2 Instruction cache disable. When HCR.VM is 1, this forces all stage 2 translations for
instruction accesses to Normal memory to be Non-cacheable for the EL1/EL0 translation
regime. The possible values are:
0 No effect on the stage 2 of the EL1/EL0 translation regime for instruction accesses.
1 Forces all stage 2 translations for instruction accesses to Normal memory to be Non-
cacheable for the EL0/EL1 translation regime.

Stage 2 Data cache disable. When HCR.VM is 1, this forces all stage 2 translations for data
accesses and translation table walks to Normal memory to be Non-cacheable for the EL1/EL0
translation regime. The possible values are:
0 No effect on the stage 2 of the EL1/EL0 translation regime for data accesses and translation
table walks.
1 Forces all stage 2 translations for data accesses and translation table walks to Normal
memory to be Non-cacheable for the EL0/EL1 translation regime.
