This doesn't look right. Multiple reasons:

- This helper really has nothing to do in a driver. This is
  architectural stuff that is not intended for use outside of arch
  core code.

- My own tegra186 HW doesn't have VHE, since it is ARMv8.0, and this
  helper will always return 'false'. How could this result in
  something that still works? Can I get a free CPU upgrade?

- If you assign this device to a VM and that the hypervisor doesn't
  correctly virtualise it, then it is a different device and you
  should simply advertise it something else. Or even better, fix your
  hypervisor.

Thanks,
