When reporting a virtual SEI, bits[24:0] take the value of VSESRL_EL2[24:0].
When reporting a physical SEI, the following occurs:
• IDS==0 (architectural syndrome).
• AET always reports an uncontainable error (UC) with value
0b000
or an unrecoverable error (UEU)
with value
0b001
.
• EA is
RES0
.
When reporting a synchronous Data Abort, EA is
RES0
.
