[Alison Wang] SCTLR_EL2 is architecturally mapped to AArch32 register HSCTLR.
HSCTLR will provide control of the system operation in Hyp mode.

[Alison Wang] Yes, they are similar because they both switch from EL3 to EL2.
But some bits are different because one switch from AArch64 EL3 to AArch64 EL2
and the other switch from AArch64 EL3 to AArch32 EL2. The parameters need to
use too.

[Alison Wang] I am not sure if anybody will jump to el1. Anyway, I provide
this support. If anybody want to jump to el1, he can just define
CONFIG_ARMV8_SWITCH_TO_EL1.

[Alison Wang] This compile for 64bit target to support 64-bit U-Boot and
32-bit kernel. It will not affect 32bit targets.
