Cosmetic, but I think it would be cleaner just to define two variants of the
macro here:

#if defined(__KVM_NVHE_HYPERVISOR__) || defined(__KVM_VHE_HYPERVISOR__)
	.macro  this_cpu_offset, dst
	mrs     \dst, tpidr_el2
	.endm
#else
	.macro  this_cpu_offset, dst
alternative_if_not ARM64_HAS_VIRT_HOST_EXTN
	mrs     \dst, tpidr_el1
alternative_else
	mrs     \dst, tpidr_el2
alternative_endif
	.endm
#endif

(and should we have a shorthand __HYPERVISOR define to avoid the NVHE || VHE
logic?)

With that:
