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.

Otherwise, this looks fine to me.

Thanks,
Mark.
