I think we can leave the kvm bits as it is now, discarding this patch, as
we already do the right thing. Also system_supports_32bit_el0() doesn't
guarantee system_supports_32bit_el1(). The negation and converse are
both true though.

i.e,

	!32bit_el0_support => !32bit_el1_support
		  &
	32bit_el1_support => 32bit_el0_support

Thanks
