I’ve tested this test under three circumstances:

1) Original (!HAS_EL2 && !HAS_EL2_E2H0)

2) HAS_EL2 && HAS_EL2_E2H0

3) HAS_EL2 && !HAS_EL2_E2H0


Tests 1) and 2) returned in approx. the same amount of real time (about 12s) although 3) doesn’t
seem to return at all.

I’ve tested it on ampere-one.
