[RFC PATCH v2 04/10] arm64: head.S: Enable EL1 (host) access to SPE when entered at EL2

From: Will Deacon
Date: Fri Jan 13 2017 - 11:04:16 EST


The SPE architecture requires each exception level to enable access
to the SPE controls for the exception level below it, since additional
context-switch logic may be required to handle the buffer safely.

This patch allows EL1 (host) access to the SPE controls when entered at
EL2.
