Do you know what? I couldn't bring myself to add that a second time. I
managed it once, but it made me sad.

Did it like this instead:

-       old_khva = gpc->khva;
+       old_khva = gpc->khva - offset_in_page(gpc->khva);

I checked that for me at least, GCC is clever enough to just do the
mask.

        old_khva = gpc->khva - offset_in_page(gpc->khva);
 131:   48 8b 43 78             mov    0x78(%rbx),%rax
 135:   48 25 00 f0 ff ff       and    $0xfffffffffffff000,%rax


I still don't see the previous patches in kvm/next — is that an
automatic push after testing has passed, or is the kernel.org
infrastructure just *really* slow?

I've pushed based on the currently-visible kvm/next to
https://git.infradead.org/users/dwmw2/linux.git/shortlog/refs/heads/xen-evtchn
and can resend when the tree finally surfaces.
