I don't immediately see what is wrong with a single-cpu VM. 'w' will
be zero indeed, and we'll return that this is allowed. After all, each
VM starts by being a single-CPU VM.
But of course...

... I mistakenly removed the check against ARM64_HAS_32BIT_EL1...

Yup, looks OK to me (with a preference for the latter).
