Hi Marc,

2d7bf218ca73 ("KVM: arm64: Add .hyp.data..ro_after_init ELF section")
states explicitly that the hyp ro_after_init section should remain RW in
the host as it is expected to modify it before initializing EL2. But I
can't seem to trigger anything with this patch applied, so I'll look
into this a bit more.

Not sure this is the patch to blame?
