That might be tricky, we fairly well bake in "AARCH64 feature means
64-bit highest EL" at the moment. The KVM code takes the approach
of "if it's not going to reset in AArch64 then unset the feature bit".

Anyway, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

Do you have much locally extra that you needed for enabling
EL3 in the Cortex-A53? I have an ARM Trusted Firmware + OP-TEE
setup now that I'm going to use to work through the missing bits,
but if you've already gone through that effort there's no need
my duplicating work...

thanks
