Booting a KVM host in protected mode with kmemleak quickly results
in a pretty bad crash, as kmemleak doesn't know that the HYP sections
have been taken away.

Make the unregistration from kmemleak part of marking the sections
as HYP-private. The rest of the HYP-specific data is obtained via
the page allocator, which is not subjected to kmemleak.

Yeah, I had a look last week, and this fires everywhere (KVM only adds
a drop in an ocean of warnings).

That's a good idea, and pretty easy to implement. I'll post a respin
shortly.

Thanks,
