With VHE, there is no hyp-init at all, so what we avoid is a weird init
sequence where we have to execute part of this hyp-init, but not all of it.

interrupt_head.S respectfully disagrees with you ;-).

That's a rather compelling argument indeed. I'll see if I can turn the
thing around in a slightly nicer way. How about moving it out of
hyp-init.S altogether, and into C code?
