In which case a tolerable fix for now (going all the way DT is a big yakk to shave...) would be to use that to decide between booting in NS.HYP vs NS.SVC (nb: not NS.HYP vs S.SVC). I don't recall if the GIC has a feature bit for the security extensions, but if not then inferring it from the CPUs support wouldn't be the worst thing in the world under the circumstances.
