[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] kvmvapic: align start address as well as size

[Avi Kivity]

The kvmvapic code remaps a section of ROM as RAM to allow the guest to
maintain state there.  It is careful to align the section size to a page
boundary, to avoid creating subpages, but neglects to do the same for
the start address.  These leads to an assert later on when the memory
core tries to create a page which is half RAM and half ROM.

Fix by aligning the start address to a page boundary.

This can be triggered by running qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -vga none.

Are you going to do a PULL request or do you want me to apply directly?

No worries.  I actually caught the bug in the original pull request but do to a 
bug in qemu-test, when I tried to bisect, things got weird and I mistakenly 
thought the real problem had been introduced earlier.
