I updated my local documentation & impl to only record the shared EL0/EL1 T0SZ value, thanks.

OK we may need to retain the manual setting when I upstream this, instead of going with the pure Process-maintained value determined dynamically by gdb packet or corefile metadata.  If this is something you need for your own FixCodeAddress prelim patch, I can upstream the target.process.virtual-addressable-bits setting (I think the name is fine, even once Process can determine this dynamically).  We'll need to decide at some point what the correct behavior is when they conflict, but if only one is set the choice is straightforward.
