Silently? This isn't a problem as the CPUs you enable this for don't have VHE.
Is it worth a warning? If we did ever need to support it, we can pull the same
trick the arch code uses, using a fixmap entry for the vectors.

We don't have to do this for the regular vectors, as they are part of the
__hyp_text. How come these aren't?

The existing Makefile depends on KVM to build these. How come it isn't under
arch/arm64/kvm?

Isn't Kconfig 'select'ing a hidden-option the usual way this is done?
