I tried to trace the error, and I found in kernel function kvm_mpidr_to_vcpu,
casually, mpidr returns zero and we can't get the expected vcpu, and psci
 test failed due to this.
And as I mentioned in my last before, the psci error is introduced by the
 patch KVM: arm64: VNCR-ize ELR_EL1.(Only test result)
Maybe you have to try tens of times to reproduce. :)
Deep into the patch itself, I don't find any connection between the patch
and the issue.

I test with your nv-5.7-rc1-WIP branch and latest kvm_unit_test, the 
error still exist.

Thanks.
