The hint address should not forcefully restrict the addresses returned

available.


Fixing in this way will break userspace on Sv57 machines as some
issues mentioned in the patch [1].

I suggest restricting to BIT(47) by default, like patch [2], to
align with kernel behavior on x86 and aarch64, and this does exist
on x86 and aarch64 for quite a long time. In that way, we will also
solve the problem mentioned in the first patch [1], as QEMU enables
Sv57 by default now and will not break userspace.

I'm going to pick this up as it's a revert and a bug fix, so we can backport it. If the right answer is to just forget about the sv39 userspace and only worry about sv48 userspace then your patches are likely the way to go, but there's a handful of discussions around that which might take a bit.


Thanks,
