When the guest executes an AT S1E{0,1} from EL2, and that its
HCR_EL2.{E2H,TGE}=={1,1}, then this is a pure S1 translation
that doesn't involve a guest-supplied S2, and the full S1
context is already in place. This allows us to take a shortcut
and avoid save/restoring a bunch of registers.
However, we set HCR_EL2 to a value suitable for the use of AT
in guest context. And we do so by using the value that we saved.
Or not. In the case described above, we restore whatever junk
was on the stack, and carry on with it until the next entry.
Needless to say, this is completely broken.
But this also triggers the realisation that saving HCR_EL2 is
a bit pointless. We are always in host context at the point where
reach this code, and what we program to enter the guest is a known
value (vcpu->arch.hcr_el2).
Drop the pointless save/restore, and wrap the AT operations with
writes that switch between guest and host values for HCR_EL2.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
