Hi,
it seems as if your patch

34f379956e9d7 ("KVM: arm64: Fix symbol dependency in __hyp_call_panic_nvhe")
[ Upstream commit b38b298aa4397e2dc74a89b4dd3eac9e59b64c96 ]

fails to compile in v5.8.7 for me (using an aarch64 gcc 4.9 cross-toolchain to 
try
to build a kernel for the PinePhone):

 CC      arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/switch.o - due to target missing
arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/switch.c: In function 'hyp_panic':

 asm volatile("ldr %0, =%1" : "=r" (str_va) : "S" (__hyp_panic_string));

Does upstream build correctly for you?

I can find the commit b38b298aa4397e2dc74a89b4dd3eac9e59b64c96 in upstream
but not the affected file. There is also "KVM: arm64: Split hyp/switch.c to 
VHE/nVHE"
which does a cleanup and rename and v5.9-rc4 compiles fine.

Right, it got moved around in upstream.
