It recently appeared that the nasty hack we use to call a HYP function on a non-VHE system has an interesting side effect on VHE: We wrap any such call into a hypercall, losing any form of type checking between the caller and the callee. This isn't a big deal if you can guarantee to write code that is always 100% correct, but it appears that I'm not you. In order to restore some sanity, let's use the following property: On a VHE system, it is always possible to call any function directly as they live in the same address space. We can thus always emit a direct call, and use a static key to flip from one to the other. As a bonus, this also sanitizes !VHE systems as we always generate code for noth
