Please do something about the naming: now we have both cpu_set_hyp_vector()
and kvm_set_hyp_vector()!

*Very* minor nit, but it might be cleaner to have static inline functions
with the same prototypes as the hypercalls, just to make the code even
easier to read. e.g

	if (!is_protected_kvm_enabled())
		_cpu_set_vector(data->slot);
	else
		kvm_call_hyp_nvhe(__pkvm_cpu_set_vector, data->slot);

you could then conceivably wrap that in a macro and avoid having the
"is_protected_kvm_enabled()" checks explicit every time.

Maybe I'm hung up on my previous suggestion, but I feel like we shouldn't
get here if protected kvm isn't enabled.

Would it make sense for the __pkvm_init() hypercall to set the vector as
well, so that we wouldn't need to disable preemption over two hypercalls?

Failing that, maybe move the whole preempt_disable/enable sequence into
another function.

Can we fail more gracefully, e.g. by continuing without KVM?
