Subject: [PATCH] qemu_vmalloc: align properly for transparent hugepages and
KVM
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
To make good use of transparent hugepages, KVM requires that guest-physical
and host-virtual addresses share the low 21 bits (as opposed to just the low
12 bits normally required).
Adjust qemu_vmalloc() to honor that requirement. Ignore it for small regions
to avoid fragmentation.
