A patch to a patch is really hard to read, please send a new version with
your proposal.

... or larger than 2, since CSV2_3 includes all functionality of CSV2_2.

> 2) FEAT_CSV2_1p2 which is implemented if ID_AA64PFR1_EL1.CSV2_frac is 0010 (2)

... and ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.CSV2 is 0b0001. Also I think CSV2_frac >= 0b0010.

Before this gets too complicated, please check two things:
1) HCR_EL2.EnSCXT is RES0 otherwise, which means we can always write this
unconditionally, without adverse effects?
2) The Armv8-R64 supplement defines minimum values for PFR0.CSV2, maybe
this simplifies some checks?

Cheers,
Andre
