Hi!

I can confirm that after applying this patch onto 4.17-rc4 kernel the
Odroid C2 board that I have boots (it doesn't without the patch).

This is the result of running KVM tests that I was able to find [1]:

root@odroid64:/home/odroid/kvm-unit-tests# ./run_tests.sh
PASS selftest-setup (2 tests)
PASS selftest-vectors-kernel (2 tests)
PASS selftest-vectors-user (2 tests)
PASS selftest-smp (5 tests)
PASS pci-test (1 tests)
FAIL pmu (3 tests, 3 unexpected failures)
PASS gicv2-ipi (3 tests)
SKIP gicv3-ipi (qemu-system-aarch64: Initialization of device
kvm-arm-gicv3 failed: error creating in-kernel VGIC: No such device)
PASS gicv2-active (1 tests)
SKIP gicv3-active (qemu-system-aarch64: Initialization of device
kvm-arm-gicv3 failed: error creating in-kernel VGIC: No such device)
PASS psci (4 tests)
PASS timer (8 tests)

Here is the result of running the same tests on GCC compiled kernel
(looks the same):

root@odroid64:/home/odroid/kvm-unit-tests# ./run_tests.sh
PASS selftest-setup (2 tests)
PASS selftest-vectors-kernel (2 tests)
PASS selftest-vectors-user (2 tests)
PASS selftest-smp (5 tests)
PASS pci-test (1 tests)
FAIL pmu (3 tests, 3 unexpected failures)
PASS gicv2-ipi (3 tests)
SKIP gicv3-ipi (qemu-system-aarch64: Initialization of device
kvm-arm-gicv3 failed: error creating in-kernel VGIC: No such device)
PASS gicv2-active (1 tests)
SKIP gicv3-active (qemu-system-aarch64: Initialization of device
kvm-arm-gicv3 failed: error creating in-kernel VGIC: No such device)
PASS psci (4 tests)
PASS timer (8 tests)
