If mask is ~HYP_PAGE_OFFSET_LOW_MASK how can you be sure that setting
bit (VA_BITS - 1) is always the right thing to do to generate a kernel
address?

This is kind of what I asked before only now there's an extra bit not
guaranteed by the architecture to be set for the kernel range, I
think.

how is the second operation a nop for VHE? Is this because
ARM64_HYP_OFFSET_LOW will never be set for VHE?

looks like there's room for some unification/cleanup here as well.
