Add a handler for instruction aborts at the current EL

This allows firmware first handling for possible SEA
(Synchronous External Abort) caused instruction abort at
current EL.

What happens if you were running at EL2 when this faults gets injected?
It looks like KVM needs something similar, doesn't it?

Thanks,

        M.
Thank you for your comment. I don't think this case is possible, or at least the current KVM code suggests that this case should never happen. In the EL1 code, we get to this case via the vector:

ventry  el1_sync                        // Synchronous EL1h

The EL2 KVM equivalent appears to be in arch/arm64/kvm/hyp-entry.S and is:

ventry  el2h_sync_invalid               // Synchronous EL2h

This vector is defined as an invalid_vector and has a comment suggesting that it should never happen:

/* None of these should ever happen */
...
        invalid_vector  el2h_sync_invalid

Please correct me if I am wrong, but it looks like this case should not be possible.

Thanks,
Tyler
