Yes, this is expected as the patch which is supposed to 'fix' this is
still pendind. The latest version is here:

... but let me repeat myself: (see my previous reply here:
https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/874jyw2v5n.fsf@xxxxxxxxxx/)
The source of the problem seems to be that Clang probably inlines
kvm_hv_send_ipi() as on-stack variables in kvm_hv_hypercall() can not
exceed 1024 bytes limit (struct kvm_hv_hcall is 144 bytes, the rest is
negligible). The patch I mention above will likely fix the issue as it
significantly reduces on-stack allocations in kvm_hv_send_ipi() but in
this situation it shouldn't be inlined in the first place.

(I still hope that I'm wrong finger pointing at the compiler here and
someone smart will come to correct me :-)
