I think I caused the confusion here, as "this patch" refers to the original fix which has been queued, rather than the patch to the selftest, which I don't consider a candidate for backports. > Ok, but for some bizare reason someone stripped OFF the Fixes: tag, "Someone" == we, the KVM/arm64 maintainers. And that's on purpose. A selftest patch doesn't fix anything, and I really don't want to use the "Fixes:" tag as a type of dependency. Additionally, these tests are mostly pointless anyway, specially this one, which really should be deleted. > which causes this problem to now show up.

Nothing, apart from applying the original fix, and blissfully ignoring the selftest, unless someone really want to backport it (I don't). Thanks, and sorry for the confusion.
