Thank you, this works on my setup so I'm not sure what's wrong. Check that
KVM initialized successfully, with this in the host kernel log:
"[ 0.267019] kvm [1]: Using prototype RMM support (version 56.0)"

Next step would be to find out where the EINVAL comes from, with printfs
or GDB. This seems rather specific so I'll email you directly to avoid
filling up everyone's inbox.

Thanks,
Jean
