Enabling the MMU requires the write to SCTLR_ELx (and the ISB
that follows) to live in some identity-mapped memory. Otherwise,
the translation will result in something totally unexpected
(either fetching the wrong instruction stream, or taking a
fault of some sort).
This is exactly what happens in mutate_to_vhe(), as this code
lives in the .hyp.text section, which isn't identity-mapped.
With the right configuration, this explodes badly.
Extract the MMU-enabling part of mutate_to_vhe(), and move
it to its own function that lives in the idmap. This ensures
nothing bad happens.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
