( Scratch my previous comment if unless you restructure the code so
there's only one nested if() here. )

Also, minor nit: it sounds like "VHE in non-VHE mode" is the thing this
CPU requires, which is somewhat confusing.

Does it work to word this as
"CPU requiring VHE was booted in non-VHE mode"

?
