When the kernel is rebased to v6.2.rc3, the two capabilities are conflictsing
between QEMU and host kernel. Please adjust them like below and have a try:

In qemu/linux-headers/linux/kvm.h

#define KVM_CAP_ARM_HVC_TO_USER 250 /* TODO: as per linux 6.1-rc2 */
#define KVM_CAP_ARM_PSCI_TO_USER 251 /* TODO: as per linux 6.1-rc2 */

In linux/include/uapi/linux/kvm.h

#define KVM_CAP_ARM_HVC_TO_USER 250
#define KVM_CAP_ARM_PSCI_TO_USER 251

Thanks,
Gavin
