On some architectures empty_zero_page is only the pointer to the struct page of the empty_zero_page. Therefore the clear page operation would copy the contents of a couple of struct pages instead of clearing a page. For kvm only arm/arm64 are affected by this bug. To fix this use the ZERO_PAGE macro instead which will return the struct page address of the empty_zero_page on all architectures.
