In get_phys_addr_with_struct(), we call get_phys_addr_twostage() if the CPU supports EL2. However, we don't check here that stage 2 is actually enabled. Instead we only check that inside get_phys_addr_twostage() to skip stage 2 translation. This means that even if stage 2 is disabled we still tell the stage 1 lookup to do its page table walks via stage 2.
This works by luck for normal CPU accesses, but it breaks for debug accesses, which are used by the disassembler and also by semihosting file reads and writes, because the debug case takes a different code path inside S1_ptw_translate(). This means that setups that use semihosting for file loads are broken (a regression since 7.1, introduced in recent ptw refactoring), and that sometimes disassembly in debug logs reports "unable to read memory" rather than showing the guest insns. Fix the bug by hoisting the "is stage 2 enabled?" check up to get_phys_addr_with_struct(), so that we handle S2 disabled the same way we do the "no EL2" case, with a simple single stage lookup.
