Yes, I forgot about it, sorry. I'll review them as soon as possible (tomorrow most likely). Thanks, Alex

I'll review them as soon as possible (tomorrow most > likely). Tested on a rockpro64, on the little (A53) and the big (A72) cores, 4k and 64k pages. Results are similar, with a few peculiarities: - If you change the page size and compile without doing make clean, the assert(pgd_valid(*pgd)) from mmu_clear_user() fails. If the function is modified to use mmu_idmap instead of the pgtable argument (which should be the same thing) everything works as expected. My guess is that something doesn't get recompiled properly, but that doesn't affect the correctness of this series. I don't think that kvm-unit-tests supports changing the configuration and not cleaning previous build artifacts (changing --arch without make clean definitely breaks compilation). - Some of the PMU tests are failing on the big cores. I remember running into the same issue some time ago, I believe it was because KVM doesn't really support big.little configurations. Did some digging at that time and if memory serves me right it had to do with the fact that there are 2 PMUs in the system and KVM was creating the events on the little cores (on the pmu pmu_a53 from the DTB) and an error was returned when trying to install it on a big cores (pmu pmu_a72). Also tested on my x86 machine using qemu TCG (still only 4k and 64k pages). Regardless of the observations above, I believe the series works as expected.
