When registering a memslot, we check the size and location of that

access to the whole of the memory.

Unfortunately, this check rejects memslot that end-up at the exact
limit of the addressing capability for a given IPA size. For example,
it refuses the creation of a 2GB memslot at 0x8000000 with a 32bit
IPA space.

Fix it by relaxing the check to accept a memslot reaching the
limit of the IPA space.

Fixes: e55cac5bf2a9 ("kvm: arm/arm64: Prepare for VM specific stage2 translations")

Isn't this actually fixing commit c3058d5da222 ("arm/arm64: KVM: Ensure
memslots are within KVM_PHYS_SIZE") ?

Ah, yes, that's indeed better (more backport work... ;-)

Thanks,
