Calling a armv7 specific function in a generic code path is not so nice.
If this is really necessary then I suggest to #ifdef it here rather than
in the header file (where armv7_hyp_install() expands to a noop for
armv8. And what about the older architectures? A quick test revealed
this works on armv5, but is this intentional or by accident?
