Subject: RFC: s390: extension capability  for new address space layout
Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2011 13:56:42 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E787F7A.2070600@de.ibm.com> (raw)

Avi,Marcelo,

598841ca9919d008b520114d8a4378c4ce4e40a1 ([S390] use gmap address
spaces for kvm guest images) changed kvm on s390 to use a separate 
address space for kvm guests. We can now put KVM guests anywhere
in the user address mode with a size up to 8PB - as long as the 
memory is 1MB-aligned. This change was done without KVM extension
capability bit. 
The change was added after 3.0, but we still have a chance to add
a feature bit before 3.1 (keeping the releases in a sane state).

Can you have a look at the change below and give you ACK or NACK?
If ok, I would push this patch to Heiko to be submitted via the 
s390 stream for 3.1.

Christian
