Interesting. Your config seems to boot fine in my VM until the point
where the lack of virtio-blk support stops it from mounting the root
file system.

Looking at the patch I found one bug, although that should not affect
your config (it should use the pgprotval_t type), and one difference
that could affect code generation, although I prefer the new version
(use of __pgprot vs a local variable + pgprot_val()).

Two patches attached, can you try them?

Subject: x86: Use pgprotval_t in protval_4k_2_large and pgprot_4k_2_large

Use the proper type for "raw" page table values.
