[PATCH QEMU] osdep: powerpc64 align memory to allow 2MB radix THP page tables

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This allows KVM with the Book3S radix MMU mode to take advantage of
THP and install larger pages in the partition scope page tables (the
host translation).
