H A Dvirt.h80c59dafb1a9a86fa996e6e34d06b60567c925ca Thu Feb 09 17:47:17 CET 2012 Dave Martin <dave.martin@linaro.org> ARM: virt: allow the kernel to be entered in HYP mode

This patch does two things:

* Ensure that asynchronous aborts are masked at kernel entry.
The bootloader should be masking these anyway, but this reduces
the damage window just in case it doesn't.

* Enter svc mode via exception return to ensure that CPU state is
properly serialised. This does not matter when switching from
an ordinary privileged mode ("PL1" modes in ARMv7-AR rev C
parlance), but it potentially does matter when switching from a
another privileged mode such as hyp mode.

This should allow the kernel to boot safely either from svc mode or
hyp mode, even if no support for use of the ARM Virtualization
Extensions is built into the kernel.
