I worry that another use of cc_platform_has() could creep in at some point
and cause the same issue. Not sure how bad it would be, performance-wise,
to remove the jump table optimization for arch/x86/coco/core.c.

I guess we can wait for Boris to get back and chime in.

I noticed that you added the physaddr parameter but never use it...

Thanks,
