So I've taken this, merged in Linus' top of tree, started a guest on a
dual A53 board, and immediately hit the following:

It happened just after having loaded the guest kernel, so I presume
we're missing some kind of initialization. I couldn't subsequently
reproduce it  on the same machine, and the same kernel is doing
absolutely fine on a Seattle box.

I can't immediately see how st would be NULL, unless we somehow are
missing some state tracking somewhere...

Any idea?
