This part of the TVM bit description from the architecture manual (page
D13-3290) got me really stumped for a while:

"When HCR_EL2.TGE is 1, the PE ignores the value of this field for all purposes
other than a direct read of this field".

But I soon realized it's forbidden by the architecture to eret to EL1 when TGE
is set, so all's good. I wonder why that part was added to the TVM bit
description though.

Regardless, the patch looks good to me:
