Thanks Stephen. I regenerated the arm64 for-next/feat_s1pie branch since
the old one was not archived on lore. While doing that, there were some
minor fixups.

If there are trivial conflicts, we usually leave them in (Linus doesn't
mind). For anything non-obvious, feel free to pull the relevant branches
from the arm64 tree into the KVM one. I don't plan to rebase any of them
now.
