Even though this stuff is likely to be replaced with the result of some
of the other standardization, I'd like it if you'd strongly consider
removing the "or non-secure EL1". If you give an inch, someone will take
a mile and build a system that enters other than in EL2. Or, something
to the effect of "the highest non-secure exception level implemented"
would be my preference if you don't want to specify.

Suggest at least the same size as x86 (2048) for command line params, or
we'll just be coming back later to change it :)
