The logic is that if BIOS has enabled SME and thus reduction is in place, we need to update x86_phys_bits on 32-bit regardless, right? But, come to think of it, that reduction won't have any effect since we have 32-bit addresses and the reduction is above 32-bits, right? And thus it is moot. Or? -- Regards/Gruss, Boris.
