We will need to treat exceptions from EL0 differently in kernel_ventry,
so rework the macro to take the exception level as an argument and
construct the branch target using that.

Using the el paramter to build the branch name has the unfortunate
property of obscuring the branch name. For example, that makes it
difficult to jump around the entry asm with ctags, which is somewhat
painful.

Could we leave the full branch name in place, e.g.

	kernel_ventry	1, el1_sync_invalid		// Synchronous EL1t
	kernel_ventry	1, el1_irq_invalid		// IRQ EL1t
	kernel_ventry	1, el1_fiq_invalid		// FIQ EL1t
	kernel_ventry	1, el1_error_invalid		// Error EL1t

... or have separate kernel_ventry and user_ventry macros that
implicitly encoded the source EL, also leaving the label name as-is.
The downside of doing that is that it makes it possible to say things like:

	kernel_ventry	0, el1_sync

which I don't want to be expressible.

Given that ctags already chokes on lots of entry.S (for example, any macro
that is defined outside of the file) *and* that you can easily search for
things like el1_sync_invalid within the file, I'm inclined to leave this
patch as-is, but I'll note your objection and buy you a pint.
