I gave this test a try on riscv, but it appears to hang in
rendezvous_with_vcpus(). My platform is QEMU, so maybe I was just too
impatient. Anyway, I haven't read the test yet, so I don't even know
what it's doing. It's possibly it's trying to do something not yet
supported on riscv. I'll add investigating that to my TODO, but I'm
not sure when I'll get to it.
As for this series, another patch (or a sneaky change to one
of the patches...) should add
#include "ucall_common.h"
to mmu_stress_test.c since it's not there yet despite using get_ucall().
Building riscv faild because of that.
Thanks,
