Alison,

The change overall is OK, but the way you split the patches is not. If 
you apply the first patch and then compile, you will see all our armv8 
platforms are broken. You changed the definition of macro 
armv8_switch_to_el2_m in the first patch, but you change the call in the 
second patch.
