Good. Sounds like we're all in agreement.

Will do.

It means I need to expose the stage2_has_fwb() helper in pgtable.h so I
can use it here. But Marc suggested that I introduce another macro along
the lines of

#define KVM_S2_MEMATTR(pgt, attr) PAGE_S2_MEMATTR(attr, stage2_has_fwb(pgt))

which can be defined in pgtable.c and keep everything neatly contained
in there. So I think I'll go ahead with that unless you feel strongly
about it.

Cheers,
Quentin
