I have dumped HCR_EL2 before entry to L1 in both V11 and V10.
on V10 HCR_EL2=0x2743c827c263f
on V11 HCR_EL2=0x27c3c827c263f

on V11 the function vcpu_el2_e2h_is_set(vcpu) is returning false 
resulting in NV1 bit set along with NV and NV2.
AFAIK, For L1 to be in VHE, NV1 bit should be zero and NV=NV2=1.

I could boot L1 then L2, if I hack vcpu_el2_e2h_is_set to return true.
There could be a bug in V11 or E2H0 patchset resulting in 
vcpu_el2_e2h_is_set() returning false?
