Hey Sudeep,

I read this as valid only for non-VHE hardware, it may be just me, but if you agree please update so that it doesn't give remote idea that it is not valid on VHE enabled hardware. I was trying to run this on the hardware and was trying to understand the details on how to do that.
I see what you're saying, but !CONFIG_ARM64_VHE isn't accurate either. The
option makes sense if:
1) all cores booted in EL2
== is_hyp_mode_available()
2) ID_AA64MMFR1_EL1.VH=0 or !CONFIG_ARM64_VHE
== !is_kernel_in_hyp_mode()
The former feels implied for KVM, the latter could be 'Valid if the kernel
is running in EL1'? WDYT?
