qhypstub [1] is an open-source "hyp" firmware replacement for MSM8916 that enables booting Linux and other operating systems in EL2 instead of EL1, making it possible to use virtualization features like KVM. To boot into aarch64 EL2 from aarch32 LK, the kernel must be started through the hypervisor with a HVC instead of a SMC. If the original "hyp" firmware is used (that does not allow booting in EL2), this HVC will just fail silently and we'll fall back to booting in EL1 via SMC.

The display doesn't light up otherwise.
This might need a better solution in the future, but for now lets place the necessary code directly into oem_panel. [Raymond: reimplement for huawei-kiwi]

This will crash on platforms that don't have hyp partition (or otherwise don't allow unknown hvc calls) so we didn't include el2 support until now, pending changes in qhypstub. Unfortunately neither me nor @stephan-gh had time to fix this yet...

Yeah, I'd prefer not re-introducing this to the new branch. It's cleaner to change this in qhypstub.
