If the kernel is entered in HYP mode, the above requirements apply to

the HYP mode configuration in addition to the ordinary PL1 (privileged

kernel modes) configuration. In addition, all traps into the

hypervisor must be disabled, and PL1 access must be granted for all

peripherals and CPU resources for which this is architecturally

should be such that a kernel which does not include support for the
