A kernel address always has the top bits set. That's a given, and a
property of the architecture (bits [63:VA_BITS] are set to one. See
D4.2.1 and the definition of a Virtual Address (top VA subrange).

That's because kern_hyp_va used to be reserved to the assembly code, and
KERN_TO_HYP used in C code. We could (and probably should) unify them.
