These arguments should probably get documented :). Also xreg4 doesn't 
seem to actually be a scratch register, but a real parameter. So please 
name it accordingly.

Is there any way you can make this obvious from the code? Basically we 
would want something like

mov \xreg1, #(SCR_EL3_EL2_AA64 | SCR_EL3_HCE | SCR_EL3_SMD ...)

I'm sure there are creative ways to achieve this even with the high bits 
set. Maybe ldr = works?

Just b.ne should be enough, no?

Magic values again :). Please convert them to constants getting ORed.

This deserves a comment. Imagine you read this code again in 5 years. 
Would you still understand what's going on?

Just rename the existing function to armv8_switch_to_el2_adv() or so and 
provide armv8_switch_to_el2() as static inline function that simply 
invokes armv8_switch_to_el2_adv(0, 0, 0, ES_TO_AARCH64);

This open codes part of do_nonsec_virt_switch().

Could we just clean up all of that mess a bit more maybe? How about you call

do_nonsec_virt_switch(ES_EL2 | ES_AARCH32, entry, images->ft_addr) or
do_nonsec_virt_switch(ES_EL1 | ES_AARCH64, entry, images->ft_addr)

Then the if() would only need to set ES_AARCH32/64 in a variable and 
everything else goes along the same code.

This should be a Kconfig option. ThunderX doesn't support AArch32 execution.
