Same comment as before about removing the CONFIG_ options here.

Directly after this comment there is a #include line, can you please
move this up to the beginning of this file, now that it is
unconditional?

Same here, those should move up.

That sounds tempting, but breaks compilation when CONFIG_KVM is not
defined (in arch/arm64/kernel/cpu_errata.c). So either we keep
CONFIG_KVM_INDIRECT_VECTORS or we replace the guards in the code with
CONFIG_KVM.

Andre.
