 No no, another one is correct, since it operates on real PFN (at least looks like so). I have verified my fix against the original problem (crash on Exynos5410 without generic timer), and it still works fine there.

 Of course, i'm not against alternate approaches, feel free to. I've just suggested what i could, to fix things quickly. I'm indeed no expert in KVM memory management yet. After all, this is what mailing lists are for.
