the naming here really confused me.  Would it make sense to call this
'hyp_va_msb' or something like that instead?

Ah, the series was tested, it was just that this code only existed for a
short while.  Amusingly, I think this ephemeral bug goes against the "No
function change" statement in the commit message.

nit: This could also be written as GENMASK_ULL(VA_BITS - 2, 0) --- and
now I'm not sure which one I prefer.

Otherwise looks good:
