Yes, it's known at translate time, in dc->current_el. (The code is structured to make it difficult to accidentally use info that's not known at translate-time: most translate.c code only has access to the DisasContext struct, and that struct only has info that is safe to use.) We need to know the EL at translate time anyway because we need to generate the right kind of guest load/store, where the code generated is different for different ELs (they get looked up in different TLBs because the access permissions can differ). thanks -- PMM
