The KVM and Xen hypervisors for the Cortex-A15 virtualization implementation need to be entered in HYP mode. Should the primary board firmware already enter HYP mode (Calxeda firmware does that), we should not deliberately drop back to SVC mode. Since U-boot does not use the MMU, running in HYP mode is just fine.
