LORegion Control (EL1)
Enables and disables LORegions, and selects the current LORegion descriptor.
This register is present only when FEAT_LOR is implemented and FEAT_AA64 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to LORC_EL1 are UNDEFINED.
If no LORegion descriptors are supported by the PE, then this register is RES0.
LORC_EL1 is a 64-bit register.

Reserved, RES0.
Descriptor Select. Selects the current LORegion descriptor accessed by LORSA_EL1, LOREA_EL1, and LORN_EL1.
If this field points to an LORegion descriptor that is not supported by an implementation, then the registers LORN_EL1, LOREA_EL1, and LORSA_EL1 are RES0.
The number of LORegion descriptors in IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED. The maximum number of LORegion descriptors supported is 256. If the number is less than 256, then bits[63:M+2] are RES0, where M is Log2(Number of LORegion descriptors supported by the implementation).
The reset behavior of this field is:
Reserved, RES0.
Enable. Indicates whether LORegions are enabled.
| EN | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0b0 |
Disabled. Memory accesses do not match any LORegions. |
| 0b1 |
Enabled. Memory accesses may match a LORegion. |
This bit is permitted to be cached in a TLB.
The reset behavior of this field is:
