The SPE architecture requires each exception level to enable access
to the SPE controls for the exception level below it, since additional
context-switch logic may be required to handle the buffer safely.

This patch allows EL1 (host) access to the SPE controls when entered at
EL2.

Man, this hack to set TPMS and E2PB is horrid. It does the trick, but it
took me a couple of minutes to realize what it was doing. Can't we just
have named flags and a some form of conditional select instead? It would
hurt a lot less...

Thanks,
