With ARMv8.1 VHE, the architecture is able to (almost) transparently
run the kernel at EL2, despite being written for EL1.

This patch takes care of the "almost" part, mostly preventing the kernel
from dropping from EL2 to EL1, and setting up the HYP configuration.

Though it is apparent, may be its worth adding a comment here that we don't drop to EL1 here ?

And a comment here mentioning, install the hyp stub and drops to EL1 ?

  	add	x0, x0, #:lo12:__hyp_stub_vectors
