Here's what I get with Mark's DT:

[    2.199618] kvm [1]: 8-bit VMID
[    2.202756] kvm [1]: Hyp mode initialized successfully
[    2.207907] kvm [1]: GICV size 0x2000 not a multiple of page size 0x10000
[    2.214736] kvm [1]: virtual timer IRQ4

Somehow, we fail to detect that we cannot run with 64k pages,
because we cannot safely pass the 8kB region to the guest.
KVM should fail to initialize, or at least report that there
is no VGIC. Drew, is that what you have on your system as well?

That doesn't explain Stefan's issue though.

Thanks,
