I suppose this is not technically part of what the patch description
says it does, but ok...

this is really hard to read.  How do you feel about putting the below
block into its own function and changing to something like this:

/*
 * The HPFAR can be invalid if the stage 2 fault did not happen during a
 * stage 1 page table walk (the ESR_EL2.S1PTW bit is clear) and one of
 * the two following cases are true:
 *   1. The fault was due to a permission fault
 *   2. The processor carries errata 834220
 *
 * Therefore, for all non S1PTW faults where we either have a permission
 * fault or the errata workaround is enabled, we resolve the IPA using
 * the AT instruction.
 */
if (!(esr & ESR_ELx_S1PTW) &&
    (__check_arm_834220() || (esr & ESR_ELx_FSC_TYPE) == FSC_PERM)) {
    	if (!__translate_far_to_ipa(&hpfar))
		return false; /* Translation failed, back to guest */
} else {
	hpfar = read_sysreg(hpfar_el2);
}

not sure if it helps that much, perhaps it's just complicated by nature.

in any cas I think we also need the comment about preserving par_el1
here, which is only something we do because we may return early, IIUC.

nit: add comment /* Convert PAR to HPFAR format */

The good news are that I couldn't find any bugs in the code.
