I was running a mainline kernel myself, plus a forward-port of Ethernet
driver patches for that chip. But the result was not very stable.
Therefore, I would recommend applying the few Jailhouse patches on top
of the custom kernel for now until mainline stabilized (maybe it did
meanwhile, dunno).

You need to pass the kernel's build directory to Jailhouse. That is
different from the source dir - unless you did an in-tree build (i.e.
you called "make" without "O=" over the source tree).

Yeah, it's a learning process, but you have to start somewhere.
