Using the same representation is just pure convenience, and nothing
requires us to use the it in the kernel/hypervisor.

So this increase the required sharing with EL2 from 528 bytes to
560. Not a huge deal, but definitely moving in the wrong direction. Is
there any plans to add more stuff to this structure that wouldn't be
*directly* relevant to the hypervisor?

Well, this is going away, and you know it.
