Save SPSR_KERNEL into spsr_to_elx during el3_init.
The jump_kernel will load spsr_to_elx into spsr_el3.

This change will make it easier to control whether drop to lower EL
before jumping to the kernel.

Looks good, but this needs some adaption after fixing patch 2/8:

This would be the place where you change the original "mov x4,
#SPSR_KERNEL" line into this one here (and not in patch 2).

With that fixed:
