large page size virtio issues

Hi Rusty, I'm using a patch that changes the Linux base page size to
64K. (This is actually pretty common in ppc64 world, but I happen to be
trying it on ppc32.)

I'm seeing a problem with virtio. I think at least part of it can be
explained by qemu's TARGET_PAGE_BITS==12, and the guest's
PAGE_SHIFT==16. The guest allocates the queue, then passes the pfn (pa
>> PAGE_SHIFT) to the virtio backend (vp_find_vq()). The backend then
calculates the pa as pfn << TARGET_PAGE_BITS.

I have to run right now, but quickly changing qemu TARGET_PAGE_BITS to
16 got me a little further but still didn't work. Any thoughts?

Thanks!
