What is programmed in CBASER register is a physical address. So the
virt_to_phys() is relevant. The inconsistency is in its_allocate_entry()
introduced later on where I return the physical address instead of the
virtual address. I will fix that.

Yes I meant an identity map.

 kvm-unit-tests, at least arm/arm64, does prepare

should be the same on x86

 It's doing virt_to_phys(some-virt-addr), which gets a

is there any way to exercise a non idmap?
