Used in conjunction with VTTBR, that defines the translation table base
address for the translations.
Configurations VTCR is architecturally mapped to AArch64 register VTCR_EL2. See
Virtualization Translation Control Register, EL2 on page 4-91.
This register is accessible only at EL2 or EL3.
Attributes VTCR is a 32-bit register.
Figure 4-118 shows the VTCR bit assignments.

Table 4-213 shows the VTCR bit assignments.

0b01
Normal memory, Outer Write-Back Write-Allocate Cacheable.
0b10
Normal memory, Outer Write-Through Cacheable.

[5] - Reserved,
RES0.
[4] S Sign extension bit. This bit must be programmed to the value of T0SZ[3]. If it is not, then the stage 2 T0SZ value
is treated as an
UNKNOWN value within the legal range that can be programmed.
[3:0] T0SZ
The size offset of the memory region addressed by TTBR0. The region size is 2
32-T0SZ
bytes.
