No, I hardly run any kselftest, because they are just not designed to
run at EL2 at all. There's some work to be done there, but I just
don't have the bandwidth for that (hint, wink...)

My guess is that the test harness expects things to run at EL1.
Depending on the value you get for HCR_EL2, you could get all sort of
odd behaviours. Also, the harness configures EL1 only, which is
unlikely to work at EL2. My conclusion is that "processor.c" needs to
be taught about EL2, at the very least.

See above. I'd love someone to actually start looking into it and
devise a testing harness that would run both at EL{0,1,2} *at the same
time* so that we can start exercising some of the trap behaviours that
the architecture mandates.

Also, Alexandru had a some KUT tests a few years ago, but I don't know
what happened of them.

Thanks,

	M.
