kvmtool uses the same memory layout for arm and arm64. If you want to have
different memory layouts between arm and arm64, then the memory layout from
this file should be moved to arm/aarch{32,64}/include/kvm/kvm-arch.h and
modified there.

I'm not 100% sure how to proceed here. pvtime requires only 64KiB of memory
out of a 1GiB - 256MiB region, so making ARM_PCI_MMIO_SIZE 64KiB smaller
for both architectures is not a big deal as far as I can tell.

Having both arm and arm64 use the same memory layout means that fixes
benefit both architectures (there had been several memory layout fixes in
the past, where regions were overlapping).

On the other hand, KVM for arm does not exist anymore, and hasn't for quite
some time, and changing the memory layout for an arm64 feature means that
we risk breaking arm support, which is becoming harder and harder to test.
And this will become increasingly likely as new arm64 features that change
the memory layout are added.

To be honest, I think the best person to answer this is Will, as the
maintainer of kvmtool. I have been going back and forth about this, I think
I slightly prefer making the change here, to the common layout.

It looks ok to me to have it there, clumped with the other reserved
regions.

Yeah, figured that out after I sent the email. Would you mind turning this
change into a separate patch, something like "arm: Populate the VCPU struct
before target->init()"? Please feel free to word the patch however you see
fit.
