You also want to document that SCR_EL3.ECVEn has to be set to 1 for
this to work (see Documentation/arm64/booting.txt). And if it isn't,
the firmware better handle the CNTPOFF_EL2 traps correctly...
I'll grab the popcorn now ;-) Adding docs for this, good idea.

What firmware did you use for this? I think we need to update the boot
wrapper, but that's something that can be done in parallel.
I had actually just done a direct boot from ARM-TF -> Linux, nothing
else in between.
Ah, right. I tend to use the boot-wrapper[1] to build a single binary
that contains the 'boot loader', DT and kernel. Using ATF is probably
more representative of the final thing, but the boot-wrapper is dead
easy to hack on...

Thanks,
