v3: - pick r-b - refine DEBUG macro [Drew] v2: - pick r-bs - rebased to master - fix pa width detect, check cpuid(1):edx.PAE(bit 6) - fix arm compilation issue [Drew] - fix indents issues and ways to define macros [Drew] - provide functions for fetching cpu pa/va bits [Drew] This series originates from "[PATCH] KVM: selftests: Detect max PA width from cpuid" [1] and one of Drew's comments - instead of keeping the hackish line to overwrite guest_pa_bits all the time, this series introduced the new mode VM_MODE_PXXV48_4K for x86_64 platform. The major issue is that even all the x86_64 kvm selftests are currently using the guest mode VM_MODE_P52V48_4K, many x86_64 hosts are not using 52 bits PA (and in most cases, far less). If with luck we could be having 48 bits hosts, but it's more adhoc (I've observed 3 x86_64 systems, they are having different PA width of 36, 39, 48). I am not sure whether this is happening to the other archs as well, but it probably makes sense to bring the x86_64 tests to the real world on always using the correct PA bits. A side effect of this series is that it will also fix the crash we've encountered on Xeon E3-1220 as mentioned [1] due to the differenciation of PA width. With [1], we've observed AMD host issues when with NPT=off. However a funny fact is that after I reworked into this series, the tests can instead pass on both NPT=on/off. It could be that the series changes vm->pa_bits or other fields so something was affected. I didn't dig more on that though, considering we should not lose anything.
