The VBAR_EL2 characteristics are:
Holds the vector base address for any exception that is taken to EL2.
AArch64 System register VBAR_EL2 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register HVBAR[31:0] .
If EL2 is not implemented, this register is RES0 from EL3.
This register has no effect if EL2 is not enabled in the current Security state.
RW fields in this register reset to architecturally UNKNOWN values.
VBAR_EL2 is a 129-bit register.
The VBAR_EL2 bit assignments are:
Vector Base Address. Base address of the exception vectors for exceptions taken to EL2.
If the implementation does not support ARMv8.2-LVA, then:
If the implementation supports ARMv8.2-LVA, then:
Bits [10:0] are treated as 0 for the purpose of calculating the exception vector address.
This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.
Reserved, RES0.
Vector Base Address. Base address of the exception vectors for exceptions taken to EL2.
If the implementation does not support ARMv8.2-LVA, then:
If the implementation supports ARMv8.2-LVA, then:
This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.
Reserved, RES0.

When HCR_EL2.E2H is 1, without explicit synchronization, access from EL2 using a mnemonic ending in _EL2 or _EL1 is not guaranteed to be ordered with respect to accesses using a mnemonic with the other ending.
Accesses to this register use the following encodings:
