I applied the patch manually to v6.5.2 and tested Venus using Intel TGL iGPU, the intel driver is crashing:

It's likely should be the i915 driver issue that is crashes with the NULL deref, but the origin of the bug should be the kvm page fault handling.

David, could you please tell what tests you've run and post a link to yours kernel tree? Maybe I made obscure mistake while applied the patch manually.
