> Commit e6fab5442345 ("ARM/arm64: KVM: test properly for a PTE's
> uncachedness") modified the logic to test whether a HYP or stage-2
> mapping needs flushing, from [incorrectly] interpreting the page table
> attributes to [incorrectly] checking whether the PFN that backs the
> mapping is covered by host system RAM. The PFN number is part of the
> output of the translation, not the input, so we have to use pte_pfn()
> on the contents of the PTE, not __phys_to_pfn() on the HYP virtual
> address or stage-2 intermediate physical address.
