Attempt to upgrade the kernel's exception level from EL1 to EL2 by enabling
the VHE mode. This is conditioned by the CPU supporting VHE, the EL2 MMU
being off, and VHE not being disabled by any other means (command line
option, for example).
Any other value of r0/x0 triggers a hypervisor-specific handling,
which is not documented here.
