With readl/writel implemented in assembly, I get beyond that point, but
now I get a data abort running an DC IVAC instruction on address 0x1000,
where the cfi-flash is located. This instruction is part of a routine
to remap the cfi-flash to start a page later, so the zero page can be
mapped faulting.

Simple reproducer:

start:
        ldr     x0, =0x1000
        ldr     x1, =0x1040
        bl      v8_inv_dcache_range

        mov     w10, '!'
        bl      putch

        ret

v8_inv_dcache_range:
        mrs     x3, ctr_el0
        lsr     x3, x3, #16
        and     x3, x3, #0xf
        mov     x2, #0x4
        lsl     x2, x2, x3
        sub     x3, x2, #0x1
        bic     x0, x0, x3
1:
        dc      ivac, x0
        add     x0, x0, x2
        cmp     x0, x1
        b.cc    1b
        dsb     sy
        ret

This prints ! without KVM, but triggers a data abort before that with -enable-kvm:

  DABT (current EL) exception (ESR 0x96000010) at 0x0000000000001000
  elr: 000000007fbe0550 lr : 000000007fbe01ac
  [snip]

  Call trace:
  [<7fbe0550>] (v8_inv_dcache_range+0x1c/0x34) from [<7fbe0218>] (arch_remap_range+0x64/0x70)

Any idea what this is about?

Thanks,
Ahmad
