I'm only using DT, which works just fine on Overdrive, even with 64kB
pages.
I think I understand the issue you're having, which is not what I
was thinking of. The issue is that because ACPI doesn't tell us
anything about the size of the GICV region, we have to assume that
it is 8kB, and cannot distinguish a safe platform from an unsafe
one, failing the size test on 64kB.
Oh well.
How about this:
diff --git a/virt/kvm/arm/vgic/vgic-v2.c b/virt/kvm/arm/vgic/vgic-v2.c
index e31405e..8aac59b 100644

kvm_vgic_global_state.vctrl_base = ioremap(info->vctrl.start,

Thanks,
