@hui.wang - I tested the compiled kernel on my RaspberryPi4 (4GB RAM model). Both KVM and external SSD/USB (in my case Samsung T5, 500GB external SSD) on the USB 3.0 port are working fine:

root@cloudstack-mgmt:~# ls /dev/kvm
/dev/kvm
root@cloudstack-mgmt:~# kvm-ok
INFO: /dev/kvm exists
KVM acceleration can be used

This confirms that the patch and kernel-image build by @hui.wang fixes the external USB storage issue with the 4GB RPi4 model. Thanks @hui.wang.
