Yes, I agree.

These are valid points and there is no reason why this should not be
rewritten as you suggest below.

It should work (and it is easier to read in the process), thanks.

That's a valid point, I have not thought about that. If there are set-ups
where this is allowed (and I think it *is* architecturally allowed with
EL3 saving/restoring context and entering a deep power state - if you
asked I suspect you have something concrete in mind :)) this "optimization"
must be removed since we can still hit the bug; that's what I shall do
for v2.

Thanks,
Lorenzo
