Hi all,

If I try to spawn a kvm guest with kvmtool (not tried qemu) with a vanilla
3.16-rc5 kernel (same for host and guest) using 64k pages, I'm greeted by:

  Kernel panic - not syncing: HYP panic:
  PS:800002c5 PC:fffffe000042bd10 ESR:00000000bf000000
  FAR:          (null) HPFAR:          (null) PAR:          (null)
  VCPU:0000020979e20000

  CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.16.0-rc5 #4
  Call trace:
  [<fffffe000009642c>] dump_backtrace+0x0/0x130

on the host. The problem happens every time on Juno and the fastmodel.

Any ideas? Is anybody else seeing this problem? The limited guest output
is below.
