I will try to setup Alpha architecture in QEMU in following days, but
would like to ask first. Did you test alpha on clean v6.17-rc5 (without
my patches) as a reference?

I'm running now on a fresh git pull from today so it's more like a
6.17-rc7. So no problems running the latest git at least.  I can
dig deeper into this to see if we can figure this one out. First
of all, is this alpha specific?

I spent a bit of time looking at the alpha patch and could not spot a
typo, it looked OK to me. I was worried for a bit that virt_to_phys()
vs __pa() were different, but I could not find a difference.

Suggest testing the same branch with the alpha patch reverted just to
rule out any issue in the core code. If it reproduces suggest to
bisect Leon's branch.

Thanks,
Jason
