VA, [63:0]
The faulting Virtual Address for all synchronous instruction or data aborts, or an exception from
a misaligned PC, taken in EL3.
If a memory fault that sets the FAR is generated from one of the data cache instructions, this
field holds the address specified in the register argument of the instruction.
To access the FAR_EL3:
MRS <Xt>, FAR_EL3 ; Read EL3 Fault Address Register
MSR FAR_EL3, <Xt> ; Write EL3 Fault Address Register
