Hi Kevin.
In fact the patch only hides the root cause.
Evantually I was able to reproduce it and get its stack trace
by inserting dump_stack() right after the debug message.
The following stack trace explains, I hope.
I'll make a patch to __get_domain_bundle().

Anyway I don't see any reason why only itc.d of dirty_bit handler isn't
para-virtualized so that the patch should be applied.

Note:
0xa00000010000a0a0 = itc.d of dirty_bit.
At 0xa00000010000a070 dirty_bit handler faults to nested data tlb miss,
and nested_dtlb_miss handler set psr.dt = 0 and jumps back
to dirty_bit handler.
Then itc.d was issued with psr.dt = 0 at 0xa00000010000a0a0.
