Hi Marc,

You are mixing two things: what Linux/arm64 gives to kernel drivers,
and what KVM, as an implementation of the ARMv8 architecture, gives to
virtual machines. There is zero reason for the two to match if there
is no definition of what we need to provide.
Suggestion here is memory-types PROT_NORMAL_NC and PROT_DEVICE_nGnRE
are applicable to braemetal only and don't use for device memory inside VM.
