Hi,
Not familiar with kvm. And I have a question about this patch. Maybe
backport this patch 3204be4109ad("KVM: arm64: Make vcpu_cp1x() work on
Big Endian hosts") without 52f6c4f02164 ("KVM: arm64: Change 32-bit
handling of VM system registers") seems not right?
Thanks,
Kun.

I do not know, can you verify that this is needed and let us know?
thanks,

This seems sensible. Please post a backport of this patch, assuming
you are in a position to actually test it (I'm not able to run BE
kernels, let alone userspace).
Thanks,
