I was hoping we could define this as the following instead. That would require
adding host-side declarations of all functions currently called with _nvhe.

#define kvm_call_hyp_nvhe(f, ...)					\
+	is_nvhe_hyp_code() ? f(__VA_ARGS__) :				\
	({								\
		struct arm_smccc_res res;				\
									\
		arm_smccc_1_1_hvc(KVM_HOST_SMCCC_FUNC(f),		\
				##__VA_ARGS__, &res);			\
		WARN_ON(res.a0 != SMCCC_RET_SUCCESS);			\
									\
		res.a1;							\
	})

Up to you what you think is cleaner, just my 2 cents...
