KVM: selftests: Restrict test region to 48-bit physical addresses when using nested
[ Upstream commit e0f3f46e42064a51573914766897b4ab95d943e3 ]
The selftests nested code only supports 4-level paging at the moment.
This means it cannot map nested guest physical addresses with more than
48 bits. Allow perf_test_util nested mode to work on hosts with more
than 48 physical addresses by restricting the guest test region to
48-bits.
While here, opportunistically fix an off-by-one error when dealing with
vm_get_max_gfn(). perf_test_util.c was treating this as the maximum
number of GFNs, rather than the maximum allowed GFN. This didn't result
in any correctness issues, but it did end up shifting the test region
down slightly when using huge pages.
