This is obviously a result of a hasty conversion to the 'new' page table code, and a total oversight on my part. I'm however not particularly thrilled with the approach you have taken though, as carrying both the kvm->arch pointer *and* the mmu pointer seems totally redundant (the mmu structure already has a backpointer to kvm->arch or its pkvm equivalent). All we need is to rework the initialisation for this pointer to be correct at the point of where we follow it first. I've pushed out my own version of this[1]. Please have a look. Thanks, M.
