[PATCH v2 18/21] arm64: KVM: Introduce hyp_alternate_value helper

From: Marc Zyngier
Date: Mon Jan 25 2016 - 10:58:26 EST


We already have hyp_alternate_select() to define a function pointer
that gets changed by a kernel feature or workaround.

It would be useful to have a similar feature that resolves in a
direct value, without requiring a function call. For this purpose,
introduce hyp_alternate_value(), which returns one of two values
depending on the state of the alternative.
