Thanks, I'll go drop this patch from the 4.19.y queue and wait for a
fixed up version from Marc.
Right. I have no idea what I tested yesterday, but clearly this didn't
stand a chance to even compile on arm64... :-( Funnily enough, 32bit ARM
(which nobody cares about when it comes to KVM) was just fine. Bah.
Apologies for the noise, v2 coming once I have had my second coffee...
