What is this?

It looks 100% like the kind of problem you get when you patch an assembly .S
file and there are old compile products left in the build tree, but
Make does not
have the idea to rebuild them.

Usuallt this is solved with make clean/mrproper.

This is reproducible with a clean out folder. Your patch renamed
clear_page.S to clear_pages.S and you handled that properly in
arch/arm64/lib/Makefile but arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/nvhe also uses this
file, so the rename needs to be handled there as well.

Aha what a clever trick, I was unaware of this trickery...

Thanks a lot Nathan, much appreciated!!
