I applied this locally, but sparse is complaining because the 'kaddr' field
of 'struct pv_time_stolen_time_region' is missing an '__rcu' annotation:

 | arch/arm64/kernel/paravirt.c:112:9: warning: cast adds address space '__rcu' to expression [sparse]
 | arch/arm64/kernel/paravirt.c:112:9: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces): [sparse]

The diff below seems to make it happy again, but please can you take a
look?
