In the commit message, say something about the fact that EL1t handlers
architecturally use the stack pointer from SP_EL0 which we
have now started to repurpose for the kernel-internal overflow stack
and not EL0 (as the name says) at all, and handlers here will
by definition be running on the kernel overflow stack, so people
understand what is going on here.
