nit: I also thought that the hyp_create_mappings function names are a
bit confusing, since there's the create_hyp_mappings functions which
use the aforementioned *hyp_pgtable.
Sure, happy to re-name those (and hyp_pgtable above). Any suggestions?

Should the instruction cache be flushed here (ic iallu), to discard
speculatively fetched instructions?
Hmm, Will? Thoughts?
The I-cache is physically tagged, so not sure what invalidation would
achieve here. Fuad -- what do you think could go wrong specifically?
