Thanks for catching this. This doesn't appear to be caused by
reserving x18, it looks like SCS itself is causing clang to avoid
inlining these. If I add __noscs to __kern_hyp_va(), clang inlines the
function again. __always_inline also works, as you pointed out.

I can reproduce this with ToT clang as well.

I think switching to __always_inline is the correct solution here.
