so if I compile this with CONFIG_KVM_ARM_VGIC on, I get a compilation error:
  LD      init/built-in.o
arch/arm/kvm/built-in.o: In function `svc_die_str':
arch_timer.c:(.rodata+0xf7c): undefined reference to `vgic_v3_probe'
make[2]: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

The svc_die_str reference is probably bogus, but if I protect the
vgic_v3_probe reference in virt/kvm/arm/vgic.c with "#ifdef ARM64" it
compiles fine. Disabling CONFIG_KVM_ARM_VGIC in the .config also fixes
this also.
I leave it up to you whether you want to take your "no virtualisation"
statement above serious and fix Kconfig accordingly or use the ifdef
solution.

After fixing that, adding CONFIG_ARM_GIC_V3 as Marc suggested (and
adding AArch32 support for the ICC_SGI1R trap in my patches ;-) I could
run a 32-bit GICv3 guest with your patches on a GICv3 64-bit host.

Cheers,
Andre.
