Yeah, it really need to run longer.
After running about one hour this problem first appears and after running
about 4 hours it second appears.

Your patch really solves the kfree() bug. I'll add tested-by line.

My test script is as followed. QEMU version is v2.1.0 release.
The fs is linaro-image-lamp-genericarmv8-20140727-701.rootfs.tar.gz.
Host kernel is based on marc's branch "kvmtool-vgic-dyn" with your patch
"Fix set_clear_sgi_pend_reg offset".
Guest kernel is 3.16 release.
