That's the point of > aarch32_enabled(), to state whether we want teh system to run A32 code or not, > regardless of the system supporting it (of course, if the system does not > support A32 in EL0, this is a no-no, but that's another story). That's what the implementation does today, but we're really using it as a "do we intend for 32-bit EL0 to work?" predicate, and generally the system_supports_${FEATURE}() helpers are affected by the combination of actual HW support, kernel config options, *and* kernel command line options. For example, system_supports_sve() is affected by both CONFIG_ARM64_SVE and the "arm64.nosve" command line option.
