Yes, never mind my comment. Since we cannot enforce this constraint
once the VM runs, I don't think there's any concern here.

Please don't worry about the 32-bit side until we actually implement
that. And once we do, we can move things around in patches to support
the 32-bit side so that it makes sense to the reader.
So, for now, just have this one file, moved to arch/arm64/kvm/ where all
the access functions are static in this file and called directly from
the single dispatch function.
Thanks,
