Booting 5.4 on LX2160A reveals that KVM is non-functional:
kvm: Limiting the IPA size due to kernel Virtual Address limit
kvm [1]: IPA Size Limit: 43bits
kvm [1]: IDMAP intersecting with HYP VA, unable to continue
kvm [1]: error initializing Hyp mode: -22
Debugging shows:
kvm [1]: IDMAP page: 81a26000
kvm [1]: HYP VA range: 0:22ffffffff
as RAM is located at:
80000000-fbdfffff : System RAM
2080000000-237fffffff : System RAM
Comparing this with the same kernel on Armada 8040 shows:
kvm: Limiting the IPA size due to kernel Virtual Address limit
kvm [1]: IPA Size Limit: 43bits
kvm [1]: IDMAP page: 2a26000
kvm [1]: HYP VA range: 4800000000:493fffffff
...
kvm [1]: Hyp mode initialized successfully
which indicates that hyp_va_msb is set, and is always set to the
opposite value of the idmap page to avoid the overlap. This does not
happen with the LX2160A.
Further debugging shows vabits_actual = 39, kva_msb = 38 on LX2160A and
kva_msb = 33 on Armada 8040. Looking at the bit layout of the HYP VA,
there is still one bit available for hyp_va_msb. Set this bit
appropriately. This allows KVM to be functional on the LX2160A, but
without any HYP VA randomisation:
kvm: Limiting the IPA size due to kernel Virtual Address limit
kvm [1]: IPA Size Limit: 43bits
kvm [1]: IDMAP page: 81a24000
kvm [1]: HYP VA range: 4000000000:62ffffffff
...
kvm [1]: Hyp mode initialized successfully

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
