OK, great: that helps with no other complaints - at least on this 
(arm64) SoC.

Since this affects all other archs, I doubt this will be in 5.14 - but 
it would be great if there could be fix for that in 5.14 since at system 
breaking bug. I'm not sure why it wasn't reported yet - is there any 
chance that at least

   commit 16c9afc77660 ("arm64/mm: drop HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID")

can be reverted in 5.14?
