The nVHE hypervisor takes host virtual addresses as hypercall arguments and translates each with kern_hyp_va() before use. Nothing marks them as host-owned, so dereferencing one untranslated at EL2 - a recurring bug class - is invisible to the compiler. Add a __kern sparse address space, active only for EL2 code, and tag the host-VA parameters in the hypercall declarations. kern_hyp_va_host() is the only sanctioned unwrap: it translates the address, preserves the pointee type (stripped of qualifiers, as with the percpu accessors) and drops the tag with a __force cast, so an untranslated host VA fails sparse. The tag flows from the shared declaration into the generated handler and on into the donated-memory and tracing-descriptor helpers, so a handler cannot extract a host VA without it. Host code sees plain pointers, and the tag is checker-only: no code is generated.
