Surely this affects 64bit guests as well, doesn't it? I guess the
32bit code tries to infer stuff such as the architecture revision from
MIDR and falls over, and that the 64bit Linux code has less baggage?

The couple of VHE systems I have around don't suffer from this issue,
but it looks like I can trigger it on the FVP model (probably because
the model is nasty enough to not have VPIDR_EL2 default to anything
sensible!).
Anyway, good catch. If you can respin it to drop the reference to
32bit guests, I'll happily ack it!
Thanks,
M.
