[PATCH 0/2] KVM: arm64: Enable S1PIE for nVHE and hVHE

When Stage 1 Permission Indirection (FEAT_S1PIE) support was merged KVM
was updated to enable it in the VHE hypervisor but we do not currently
use it in the nVHE hypervisor.  Update the nVHE hypervisor to use it as
well, as with the initial merge of the S1PIE this should have no
immediate practical impact but it makes the nVHE and VHE hypervisors
more consistent and will be required for use of features like D128 and
GCS which depend on permission indirection.
