Unfortunately, this patch fails to boot for me.

On FVP Foundation models, I see this error before the model hangs:

[snip]
Starting kernel ...

resetting ...
[snip]

And I see the same output on AEMv8 Base models and Juno boards, only
they reset continuously rather than hang.

I think the problem is that I see this from ARM Trusted Firmware on boot:

INFO:    BL31: Preparing for EL3 exit to normal world

Looking at the patch, it appears to be changing everything to boot in EL2.

That was the case before the patch (with the removal of the EL1 boot thing) already. Linux can't run in EL3, that's why it has to boot in EL2 (or EL1, but that really should be limited to VMs).
