[PATCH 09/19] arm64: Exclude nohz_full CPUs from 32bits el0 support

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Wed Dec 11 2024 - 10:42:24 EST


Nohz full CPUs are not a desirable fallback target to run 32bits el0
applications. If present, prefer a set of housekeeping CPUs that can do
the job instead. Otherwise just don't support el0 32 bits. Should the
need arise, appropriate support can be introduced in the future.
