It is actually a u-boot problem. I originally just assumed it was a
Linux problem, but it happens before u-boot hands off to Linux.
It appears that u-boot won't work at all with EL3 enabled but EL2
disabled. It always moves to EL2 before moving to EL1 and there is no
code prepared to handle going from EL3 directly to EL1.
Just for the record, I'm specifically talking about what happens in
the do_nonsec_virt_switch() function.
It looks like there are three options:
1. Add support to u-boot to drop from EL3 to EL1 (I'm assuming this
is possible, as not all implementations have EL2)
2. Just wait until QEMU adds EL2 support
3. Allow a QEMU command line option to start in EL1 instead of EL3
Thanks,
Alistair
