I had tried to write it as a static inline function in asm/domain.h
But while the first source file (arm64/asm-offsets.c) include
xen/sched.h wanted to compile this inline function it could not find
'struct vcpu'. Because the xen/sched.h included the asm/domain.h
but defined the vcpu type later. Even though we had included the
xen/sched.h in asm/domain.h already.
