And this worked? I'd think it would fail since h points to RO section.

To me this still doesn't look right --- you are making assumptions about
x86_platform/x86_init.hyper and I don't think you can assume they have
not been set to point to another hypervisor, for example.

Would modifying all x86_hyper_xen_hvm's ops (except, I guess,
xen_hvm_guest_late_init()) to immediately return if nopv is set work?

Also question for Juergen --- is there anything perhaps in zeropage that
indicates we are booting PVH guest from grub?
