It doesn't make much sense as a realm guest wouldn't want to trust the
host. It will also need some extra work to ensure that KVM will only
attempt to write into a shared memory region. So for now just disable
it.

kvm_vm_ioctl_check_extension() can be called on the file descriptor of "/dev/kvm".
'kvm' is NULL and kvm_is_realm() returns false, which is the missed corner case.

case KVM_CAP_ARM_EL1_32BIT:
r = cpus_have_final_cap(ARM64_HAS_32BIT_EL1);
