The function arch_set_info_guest is not reached anymore through
VCPUOP_initialise on arm, update the comment.

I would prefer if the comment doesn't mention who are the callers. So 
there are no need to modify the comment the next time we add/remove a 
caller. How about something like:

"Initialise vCPU state. The context may be supplied by an external 
entity, so we need to validate it"

Cheers,
