Why? There is KVM on AArch32 as well.

Is AArch32 without KVM able to start from EL2?
At least based on my tests this is not working.

I'll leave it to Marc to answer that. I'd say if it's unable to boot
from EL2 that's a bug though.

Then someone broke it. Please report the bug on LAKML.

Do you have any kernel version which you are sure it should work?
Or any kernel version which you know that it started to work?

It should have worked from the day 32bit KVM was merged (3.9), and still
does as of 4.13.
