Unfortunately, this patch fails to boot for me.

On FVP Foundation models, I see this error before the model hangs:

[snip]
Starting kernel ...

resetting ...
[snip]

And I see the same output on AEMv8 Base models and Juno boards, only
they reset continuously rather than hang.

I think the problem is that I see this from ARM Trusted Firmware on boot:

INFO:    BL31: Preparing for EL3 exit to normal world

Looking at the patch, it appears to be changing everything to boot in EL2.

The title of the patch is "armv8: Support loading 32-bit OS in AArch32
execution state", which implies it only makes changes to AArch32 code
execution paths, however, it is clearly changing AArch64 boot too, so
I'm not happy with the title or description of the patch either.
