As we want to handle the silly case where HVC has been disabled
from EL3, augment our ability to handle exception at EL2.

Check for unknown exceptions (usually UNDEF) coming from EL2,
and treat them as a failing HVC call into the stubs. While
this isn't great and obviously doesn't catter for the gigantic
range of possible exceptions, it isn't any worse than what we
have today.

Just don't try and use it for anything else.

Hmm, might it be neater to check ESR_EL2.ISS to see if we landed here for any reason *other* than a successfully-executed HVC?
