Why do we need an ISB here?

I find it a bit bizarre doing this here, as for the primary CPU we're still
a way away from parsing the early paramaters and for secondary CPUs this
doesn't need to be done for each one. Furthermore, this same code is run
on the resume path, which can probably then race with itself.

Is it possible to do it later on the boot CPU only, e.g. in
init_feature_override()? We should probably also log a warning that we're
ignoring the option because nVHE is not available.
