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...
