It looks like we call this unconditionally here even if the kernel was
booted at EL1.

It has always been the case. My motivation was to be able to debug
this in a guest, because doing this on the host is... painful! ;-)

Feel free to condition it on !EL1 though.

And here we had a few more checks.

Maybe it's still correct but asking anyway.

It should be correct. These checks were there to ensure that we only computed the layout once, and this now happens by construction (calling compute_layout
from a single location instead of doing it from the patch callbacks).

Thanks,
