That's an absolute no-no. I want to be able to run the exact same kernel
as a KVM host *and* a guest. So disabling the vgic can never be the
right solution.

Either wrapping the vgic_v3_probe reference with CONFIG_ARM64 or having
a non "static inline" vgic_v3_probe for 32bit are acceptable solutions.
