We need to initialise the table using the memory donated by the host
on the __pkvm_init path. That's all private to nvhe/setup.c, so rather
than expose the raw pointers (of either the table or the donated memory),
we've got this initialisation function instead which is invoked by
__pkvm_init_finalise() on the deprivilege path.

Happy to repaint it if you have a patch?

Will
