But I wonder if it wouldn't be better located in kernel/head.S::el2_setup? Also, the 32bit code seems to suffer from the same issue. Care to fix it as well? Thanks, M.

Well, we can't really "unload" KVM, it is not a module. But CPU hotplug could trigger something similar (though I'd expect it to come back through el2_setup anyway). Anyway, we can probably keep it in KVM, and revisit that later if that makes sense. > > > Also, the 32bit code seems to suffer from the same issue.
