When bootwrapper is compiled with Xen support and it is started
at EL2 on Armv8-R AArch64, keep the current EL and jump to the
Xen image using the SPSR_KERNEL as spsr_el2 value.

The only available boot method on Armv8-R AArch64 when starting
Xen is spin table at the moment, reflect this in the build
configuration.

I'll delete the comment and change the message here to:

	With an AArch64-R Xen, boot method must be spin-table.

... since that's consistent with the other message above:

	With an AArch32 kernel, boot method must be PSCI.

... and it's slightly nicer to tell the user what will work rather than
what won't work.

Otherwise this looks fine to me, and I will apply this shortly (with
those changes) if no-one objects.

Mark.
