I tried, and ended up in #include hell. vhe-macros.h is local to
arch/arm64/kvm, and including it from asm/kvm_mmu.h breaks (we include
it from arch/arm/kvm/ and virt/kvm/arm/).

Alternatively, I could move it to arch/arm64/include/asm (renamed to
kvm_vhe_macros.h?), which would solve this issue. I just gave it a go,
and that seems sensible enough.

Thanks for the suggestion!
