Hello Rusty,

I just could try the patch, sorry for the delay. Albeit it allows to
progress a little further in the boot process, lguest seems to like that
"section that was just freed" :)

Please note that:
- It could progress to "Freeing SMP alternatives: 13k freed", which is new.
  Indeed, your patch made the Host to pin 0xc04d3000, which is the
  good page.
- 0xc04d4000 is the __smp_locks section:
 $ objdump -h vmlinux
 [...]
