I don't know what an hva is, but yes, ARM boards can have the same block of RAM aliased into multiple places in the physical address space. (we don't currently bother to implement the aliases in qemu's vexpress-a15 though because it's a bunch of mappings of the low 2GB into high addresses mostly intended to let you test LPAE code without having to put lots of RAM on the hardware). -- PMM _______________________________________________ kvmarm mailing list kvmarm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/kvmarm
