Thank you for the quick fix! I have booted a mainline kernel with this
patch with Shadow Call Stack enabled and verified that using KVM no
longer causes a panic.

Reviewed-by: Nathan Chancellor <natechancellor@xxxxxxxxx>
Tested-by: Nathan Chancellor <natechancellor@xxxxxxxxx>

For the future, is there an easy way to tell which type of system I am
using (nVHE or VHE)? I am new to the arm64 KVM world but it is something
that I am going to continue to test with various clang technologies now
that I have actual hardware capable of it that can run a mainline
kernel.

Cheers,
Nathan
