Hi Marc,
Naming is hard. Are you proposing s/is_hyp_callable/run_in_nvhe_mode/
? This is also not a very good name because it does not sound like a
boolean, but instead that we know that there is nvhe mode available
and we can switch to it.

Sure, I will do that.

OK, I will keep the macro, and redefine it to use the common macro.
Thank you,
