[PATCH V2 1/4] conf: Add support for specifying CPU max physical address size
Jim Fehlig

Fri Jul 29 19:34:33 UTC 2022
From: Dario Faggioli <dfaggioli at suse.com>
This patch introduces the
<maxphysaddr mode='passthrough'/>
<maxphysaddr mode='emulate' bits='42'/>
sub element of /domain/cpu, which allows specifying the guest virtual CPU
address size. This can be useful if the guest needs to have a large amount
of memory.
If mode='passthrough', the virtual CPU will have the same number of address
bits as the host. If mode='emulate', the mandatory bits attribute specifies
the number of address bits.

+``maxphysaddr``
+ :since:`Since 8.7.0` the ``maxphysaddr`` element describes the virtual CPU

+ ``mode``
+ This mandatory attribute specifies how the address size is presented. The

+ The number of physical address bits reported by the host CPU will be
+ passed through to the virtual CPUs
+ ``emulate``
+ The hypervisor will define a specific value for the number of bits

+ The number of bits cannot exceed the number of physical address bits
+ supported by the hypervisor.

+ ``bits``
+ The ``bits`` attribute is mandatory if the ``mode`` attribute is set to
+ ``emulate`` and specifies the virtual CPU address size in bits.
