We may have discussed this before: AFAICT this will print 32-bit EL0
detected even if there's no 32-bit EL0 on any CPU. Should we instead
print 32-bit EL0 detected on CPU X when allow_mismatched_32bit_el0 is
passed? It would also give us an indication of the system configuration
when people start reporting bugs.
The function above only runs if we've detected 32-bit support via
aa64pfr0_el1, so I think we're ok. We also have a print when we detect the
mismatch (see enable_mismatched_32bit_el0()).
It makes sense, you removed the .desc from the arm64_features entry as
well.
