[...]

Use SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START() for __pkvm_init_switch_pgd, as nVHE can't
call it directly and must use a PA function pointer from C (because it
is part of the idmap page), which would trigger a kCFI failure if the
type ID wasn't present.

Unrelated hunk?
No, this is needed to prevent a kCFI failure at EL2.

Please let me know if the comment and commit message aren't clear enough.
I'm not disputing that this hunk is needed, but I think it should be
in place before the patch enabling CFI. For example, by merging it in
with patch 2?

Will
