The changes in this file will collide quite badly with Andrew's "handler"
branch which you've already queued, so you'll probably want to chat with
Andrew and David when you get to resolve that. In particular, I think it
would be good if the this_cpu_ptr_nvhe_sym() macro only ends up in the EL1
block, since I don't think that its use of smp_processor_id() is safe at
EL2. That's not a problem as it stands, as its only used by the host.
