Somewhat tangential, but do we have any strong guarantees that the hyp
text is otherwise safe in its address space which differs from that of
the kernel proper?

i.e. do we need something like we did for the EFI stub in commit
e8f3010f7326c003 ("arm64/efi: isolate EFI stub from the kernel proper")?

Mark.
