Commit Message

Host kernel within [4.18, 5.3] report an erroneous KVM_MAX_VCPUS=512
for ARM. The actual capability to instantiate more than 256 vcpus
was fixed in 5.4 with the upgrade of the KVM_IRQ_LINE ABI to support
vcpu id encoded on 12 bits instead of 8 and a redistributor consuming
a single KVM IO device instead of 2.

So let's check this capability when attempting to use more than 256
vcpus.

Is there really no place to put this check in common code?

Not sure what you mean by common code here? Do you mean in a common code
for ARM machines (I don't think we have any atm) or directly in
kvm_init(). I did not want to pollute this latter with this ARM specific
fix.

Thanks

I'd just rather we didn't have to have the same "if ..." check
in every arm board that supports KVM.

If kvm_init() happens at a point where we have enough info to
make the check, then you can put the check in kvm_arch_init(),
which is the architecture-specific hook that kvm_init() calls.

thanks

OK Thank you for the hint. It should be OK.

Thanks!
