No. I do need these values in patch 9 "KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: XIVE: add
a control to dirty the XIVE EQ pages" where the EQ pages are marked
dirty for migration:
+ /* Mark EQ page dirty for migration */
+ mark_page_dirty(vcpu->kvm, gpa_to_gfn(q->guest_qpage));
We could change the kvmppc_xive_native_vcpu_eq_sync() to work on a
EQ basis and not on a device basis. In this case, we could pass the
EQ guest address again. That would change a bit the save sequence.
