There's a splat shortly after attempting to online CPU 4. # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/online 0-3 # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/aarch32_el0 0-3 Now while writing this I just realized I tell the FVP to disable aarch32 support at EL0. So this might still make the kernel thinks there's AArch32 support at EL1 - which seems is what makes your series get confused? Anyway. No real hardware to test on and not sure if I can tell the FVP to disable AArch32 support at EL1. /me goes and dig Thanks -- Qais Yousef
