I really wanted to pass kvm_vcpu down to the helpers. But then, I can't
define the arch specific helper in asm/kvm_host.h due to lack of kvm_vcpu's
definition yet:

Why don't you just have the prototype in kvm_host.h, and move the actual
implementation to something like guest.c? But I think there is a better
approach, see below.

I thought it would better be a static inline. But, the GCC can do that, silly me :)

This is really convoluted (it took me 5 minutes staring at the
expression and remembering that AArch32 EL1 implies AArch32 EL0 to get it).

Now, we already have kvm_reset_vcpu() that validates AArch32 support. It
would probably be better to move things there. Thoughts?

Definitely. I overlooked the function name to do something
specific to resetting the CPU than doing some checks :(.
I will respin it.
