Yup I think this works as both CPUs that are vulnerable to V3A aren't
VHE-capable. But if we ever get a VHE-capable CPU that's vulnerable I
think the next call to create_hyp_exec_mappings() will BUG(). Perhaps
the alternative would be to have has_spectre_v3a() say no in VHE to be
on the safe side? That is, prevent the cap from being set to begin with.
Cheers,
Quentin
