Hi, Hollis
Currenlty, kvm-qemu only supports the only case which is host page_size = qemu's target page size for ia64. Does your patch meets the requirement ? For ia64, current linux support 4K, 16K and 64k page size, and 1M 16M 64M or bigger page will be supported in future, so if your patch consider the case, it should work for ia64. Thanks!
Thanks
