When running a nested hypervisor we commonly have to figure out if
the VCPU mode is running in the context of a guest hypervisor or guest
guest, or just a normal guest.

Add convenient primitives for this.

PSR_MODE_EL2{h,t} values the least significant nibble, so why the
PSR_MODE32_BIT in the condition?

Because that's part of the M bits in SPSR, and this has to be
valid on any code path, no matter what execution state the
guest is in. You can't evaluate the M[3:0] on their own *unless*
you have already checked that M[4] is 0 (an AArch32 guest would
have M[4]==1).

Yes, we are so far lucky that AArch32 and AArch64 don't overlap
in their values of SPSR_EL2.M[3:0]. We may run out of luck at
some point.


For the scope of this function as is, may I suggest:

	switch (ctxt->regs.pstate & PSR_MODE_MASK) {

which should be sufficient to check if vcpu_is_el2_ctx.

I don't think this is wise. It makes the code more fragile,
and harder to reason about.

Thanks,

        M.
