[PATCH 1/4] KVM: arm64: Remove redundant kern_hyp_va() calls from the pKVM FP sync

From: Fuad Tabba

Date: Thu Nov 05 2026 - 08:24:07 EST


With pKVM, EL2 saves a guest's FP and SVE state on exit into the hyp
vCPU, whose kvm is the hyp VM's and whose sve_state is already a hyp
address. kern_hyp_va() returns both unchanged.

Remove the two calls, in fpsimd_sve_sync() and __hyp_sve_save_guest().
The one in __hyp_sve_restore_guest() stays, as nVHE without pKVM reaches
it with the host's pointer.

No functional change intended.
