[Xen-devel] [PATCH 2/4] xen/arm64: Document the register mapping aarch64 <-> aarch32

[Julien Grall <julien.grall@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The mapping between aarch64 and aarch32 has not been chosen in random.
It's based on D1.20.1 in ARM DDI 0487A.d.

The section is not obvious to find in the spec, so make it clear for the
anyone else.
