Thanks for reporting this.

I can hit this as well. It looks like an #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__ in the
wrong place in arch/arm64/include/asm/kvm_asm.h. I can't tell whether it
was caused by a merge conflict resolution or just some unfortunate
interaction between the security fixes going via the arm64 tree and the
other arm64 KVM patches.

I'll have a proper look tomorrow.
