So while I'm not opposed to this macro being reused, the name is
slightly misleading out of the original context. This macro doesn't take
you to EL2, but implements a very peculiar calling convention that only
the HYP code is expecting.

Could we have a disclaimer saying something along the lines of "Don't
you dare using this macro!"?

Otherwise:
