Hi Hans,

BTW why are you enabling LPAE? Have you tried using just KVM ? For the sunxi stuff there is little reason to enable LPAE.
I have not looked into that in detail ... there is dependency in the kernel configuration so that KVM will not show up as an option if LPAE is not set. That was/is the only reason why I have enabled LPAE.
BTW, I did further checks .. and indeed enabling LPAE is the trouble-maker. I will try to do some tests by breaking the config dependency between LPAE and KVM.
I will keep the list posted.

Virt on ARM requires LPAE in order to function; virt uses the address translation bits in LPAE for the address translation between the guest and host.
Thanks much, John Dulaney, RHCE GSS Kernel team.
