Hi Sasha, thanks for reviewing.

This series backports VHE CPU boot fixes to the 6.6.y stable branch.

These fixes are already present in the 6.12.y stable branch (and
newer), but are missing in 6.6.y. They are required to enable booting
L1 guests with nested virtualization enabled (kvm-arm.mode=nested).

Ugh, yes, the sha1s don't make sense.

While respinning, please also consider whether upstream 3855a7b91d42
("KVM: arm64: Initialize SCTLR_EL1 in __kvm_hyp_init_cpu()") should
join the series.

That's a small commit so it shouldn't be any trouble to add it.
