to review the following change.


Change subject: arch-arm: Fix SoftwareStep::debugExceptionReturnSS
......................................................................

arch-arm: Fix SoftwareStep::debugExceptionReturnSS

debugExceptionReturnSS is called on an ERET instruction to
check for software step. The method was not using the
SPSR.width and it was relying on the more generic ELIs32 to
check the execution mode of the destination EL.

This is not only an efficiency problem: the helper might not work
when returning to EL0. In general it is not possible to
understand if EL0 is using AArch32 or AArch64 if the current
EL is not EL0 and EL1 is using AArch64.

This is instead visible by inspecting the spsr.width during the
execution of an ERET instruction
