The ARMv8 SEVL instruction is in the architectural hint space already
emulated as nop.  This makes the decoding of SEVL explicit for clarity.

So does SEVL need to be implemented? Then the TODO should be updated.
Otherwise moving it a line down may be clearer.

It needs to be implemented when/if SEV and WFE are.

I updated the comment to mention SEVL as part of taking this patch
into target-arm.next.
