This mostly looks good to me, but in a patch this size I was bound to spot
a few niggles. It is _huge_!

Comparing with the new-fangled set_sctlr_el1 macro we have, this sequence
isn't quite right. Probably best to introduce set_sctlr_el2, and implement
that and the existing macro in terms of set_sctlr_elX or something like
that.

Can you do:

	pkvm_pgtable_mm_ops = (struct kvm_pgtable_mm_ops) {
		.zalloc_page	= hyp_zalloc_hyp_page,
		.phys_to_virt	= ...,
		...
	};

here?

Either PAGE_ALIGNED or '& ~PAGE_MASK' would be better than spelling this
with '%', I reckon.

Anyway, other than these nits:
