Well currently init_common_resources() only calls kvm_set_ipa_limit(),
which isn't implemented for arm. So if there was a plan to only use
that function for init that actually does something on both, it doesn't.

I'm not sure we need that yet. We just need an arm setup sve stub like
arm's kvm_set_ipa_limit() stub. OTOH, if we have to keep adding stubs
to arm we should probably have something like
kvm_arm_init_arch_resources() instead, and kvm_set_ipa_limit() should
be moved inside the arm64 one and the arm ipa limit stub can go. Then
since init_common_resources() would no longer be used, it could just
be deleted.

The name is fine for me.
