arm: Clear TTBCR before enabling the MMU

Description

arm: Clear TTBCR before enabling the MMU

Upon reset, this register is supposed to have a value of zero. But when
booting certain v7 CPUs in QEMU, we enter the kernel with several bits
set, including the EAE bit, which enables ARM's PAE extension. I'm not
sure if QEMU is setting it or if it's the uboot loader. Because FreeBSD
doesn't implement that extension and uses regular 32-bit page tables,
the kernel hangs immediately after enabling the MMU.

Just clear everything in TTBCR before enabling the MMU, to match the
reset value. FreeBSD doesn't toggle anything in that register.
