I've started some testing with this. When I boot an outer (L1) kernel
with more than one cpu allocated I get

[    3.441908] CPU: CPUs started in inconsistent modes
[    3.442787] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[    3.445434] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at arch/arm64/kernel/smp.c:418 smp_cpus_done+0x80/0xa0
...

and KVM does not init. Booting with only one cpu I see we do start in EL2
and KVM does init. I'm booting the L1 kernel through UEFI (AAVMF). Also,
my L1 guest kernel is 4.9 based, but not pure upstream. I can try a more
pure 4.9 kernel with a defconfig later.

Thanks,
