Thanks, I’ll fix all the alignments, probably some misconfiguration of my editor.

I think you are right, also, reading again the manual we have the HCR_EL2.EnSCXT bit implemented only when
FEAT_CSV2_2 is implemented or FEAT_CSV2_1p2 is implemented, otherwise it’s res0, so I think I should check:

1) FEAT_CSV2_2 which is implemented if ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.CSV2 is 0010 (2)
2) FEAT_CSV2_1p2 which is implemented if ID_AA64PFR1_EL1.CSV2_frac is 0010 (2)

Does it sounds ok for you?

I’ll fix it.

Cheers,
