It shouldn't,  because the 64bit and 32bit share the same storage. From
your own patch:

+/* Performance Monitors*/
+#define c9_PMCR		(PMCR_EL0 * 2)
+#define c9_PMOVSSET	(PMOVSSET_EL0 * 2)
+#define c9_PMOVSCLR	(PMOVSCLR_EL0 * 2)
+#define c9_PMCCNTR	(PMCCNTR_EL0 * 2)
+#define c9_PMSELR	(PMSELR_EL0 * 2)
+#define c9_PMCEID0	(PMCEID0_EL0 * 2)
+#define c9_PMCEID1	(PMCEID1_EL0 * 2)
+#define c9_PMXEVCNTR	(PMXEVCNTR_EL0 * 2)
+#define c9_PMXEVTYPER	(PMXEVTYPER_EL0 * 2)
+#define c9_PMCNTENSET	(PMCNTENSET_EL0 * 2)
+#define c9_PMCNTENCLR	(PMCNTENCLR_EL0 * 2)
+#define c9_PMINTENSET	(PMINTENSET_EL1 * 2)
+#define c9_PMINTENCLR	(PMINTENCLR_EL1 * 2)
+#define c9_PMUSERENR	(PMUSERENR_EL0 * 2)
+#define c9_PMSWINC	(PMSWINC_EL0 * 2)

These are indexes in the copro array:

struct kvm_cpu_context {
	struct kvm_regs	gp_regs;
	union {
		u64 sys_regs[NR_SYS_REGS];
		u32 copro[NR_COPRO_REGS];
	};
};

which is in a union with the sys_reg array. So anything that affects one
affects the other because:
- there is only one state in the physical CPU, no matter which mode
you're in,
- the guest EL1 is either 32bit or 64bit, and never changes over time.

Hope this helps,

	M.
