Hi Joerg,

I tested again using the tip "x86/pti" branch (with two of the three
patches in your change set already applied), and manually applied
your third patch on top of it (I see there was some debate about it,
but I thought I'd include it), plus I had to manually apply the patch
to fix booting (d1b47a7c9efcf3c3384b70f6e3c8f1423b44d8c7: "mm: don't
do zero_resv_unavail if memmap is not allocated"), since "x86/pti"
doesn't include it yet.

Unfortunately, I can trigger a bug in KVM+QEMU with the Bochs VGA
driver. (This is the same VM definition I shared with you in a PM
back on Feb. 20th, except note that 4.18 kernels won't successfully
boot with QEMU's IDE device, so I'm using SATA instead. That's a
regression totally unrelated to your change sets, or to the general
booting issue with 4.18 RC5, since it occurs in vanilla RC4 as well.)
