I don't think we want to do this here, but instead down in the arch-specific
ucall_init().  Also, not sure if I was clear before (can't tell what you interpreted
based on the above snippet), but I think we'll want VM_MODE_SEV etc... to be
modifiers on top of the VA/PA stuff.

Nope, all yours.  Thanks!
