This patch, which is now in -next appears to have caused the KVM unit
tests to start exploding badly on some arm64 systems (at least N1SDP and
Cavium TX2).  I've bisected the issue, but not analyzed it at all beyond
noting that the commit looks relevant to the failure.  None of the other
tests we run on these platforms seem to trigger the issue.

Before producing any output the tests trigger a warning:
