Normally I would have expected get_kvm_ipa_limit() to be unavailable without
CONFIG_KVM_ARM_HOST, causing a build failure. But it does compile correctly.
Probably the compiler does not really look for get_kvm_ipa_limit() definition
after an early check and bailout on !IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KVM_ARM_HOST).

Nonetheless, changes looks good. Thank you.
