This looks like the very definition of "run in nVHE mode", so I'd
rather you call it like this, rather than "callable", which is
extremely ambiguous (if running at EL2, I call it any time I want, for
free).

nit: consider switching the two members of the expression so that you
don't have extra memory accesses when running at EL2.

Please keep the macro, as it explains *why* we're doing things (we
need to reset EL2), and replacing it with a generic macro drops the
documentation aspect.

Thanks,

Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.
