Boot-tested under QEMU for Rust x86_64, arm64 and riscv64; built-tested
for loongarch64:

Tested-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org>

arm32 builds fine too.

However, on arm64 I am seeing:

    arch/arm64/kvm/nested.c:1776:2: error: use of undeclared identifier 'resx'
     1776 |         resx.res0 = ZCR_ELx_RES0 | GENMASK_ULL(8, 4);
          |         ^
    arch/arm64/kvm/nested.c:1777:2: error: use of undeclared identifier 'resx'
     1777 |         resx.res1 = ZCR_ELx_RES1;
          |         ^
    arch/arm64/kvm/nested.c:1778:33: error: use of undeclared identifier 'resx'
     1778 |         set_sysreg_masks(kvm, ZCR_EL2, resx);
          |                                        ^

Due to commit 10206eaad1b9 ("KVM: arm64: Correctly cap ZCR_EL2 provided
by a guest hypervisor") here.

`resx` indeed doesn't exist, and it seems like it was added by commits
0879478913dd ("KVM: arm64: Introduce data structure tracking both RES0
and RES1 bits") etc., which are in 7.0, from this series:

  https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260202184329.2724080-1-maz@kernel.org/

So either we make a targeted backport or backport some commits, no?

I hope that help!
