If only the mask is applied, then it will overlap with the IDMAP region, and KVM will fail - so I think it would be a good idea in that case to print something a little more useful, rather than attributing the KVM failure to an overlap of IDMAP and the KVM range. The real problem is there aren't enough VA bits to allow the KVM range to be adequately placed, rather than the overlap itself. -- RMK's Patch system: https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line in suburbia: sync at 12.1Mbps down 622kbps up According to speedtest.net: 11.9Mbps down 500kbps up _______________________________________________ kvmarm mailing list kvmarm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/kvmarm
