Ok. I won't catch this in my allmodconfig build due to the
ppc-specific nature of it, so I'll probably forget about this and not
catch it.

Paolo, Radim, can you try to remind me about this conflict when you
send the KVM pull request?

I'm assuming/hoping this uses the same logic as the upcoming 47+ bit
5-level page table x86 support? Sounds like it, but I didn't check the
code.

See "x86/mm: Allow to have userspace mappings above 47-bits" which
hasn't been merged yet, but has been discussed on linux-mm, for
example.

Thanks,
