I'm definitely in favour of using the HVC immediate.

I just have some comments on the mechanics below.

The first patch enabled kvm_arm.h macros to be used from asm. Can't we
use them here? If we don't include kvm_arm.h in the hyp stub, maybe we
should (ideally we'd factor common stuff out, but I can see that getting
messy fast).

Assuming we can use them:

As far as I can see, virt.h only defines BOOT_CPU_MODE_EL{1,2}, which we
don't use below. So I don't think we need this include.

Otherwise this looks fine to me.
