commit bf48dd4e9926515345cad06c1bfce49d7a057a26
Author: Dave Anderson <anderson@redhat.com>

Fix for Linux 4.16 and later ARM64 kernels that contain kernel commit
fa2a8445b1d3810c52f2a6b3a006456bd1aacb7e, titled "arm64: allow ID map
to be extended to 52 bits", and which have been configured with both
CONFIG_DEVMEM=y and CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=y. Without the patch, an
inconsequential error message indicating "crash: read error: kernel
virtual address: <address> type: idmap_ptrs_per_pgd" is displayed
during initialization.
