Most current POWER guests require 64kiB page support, so that's the default
ddf19c
for the cap-hpt-max-pagesize option in qemu which limits available guest
ddf19c
page sizes.  We warn if the value is set smaller than that, but don't
ddf19c
outright fail upstream, because we need to allow for the possibility of
ddf19c
guest (and/or host) kernels configured for 4kiB page sizes.
ddf19c
ddf19c
Downstream, however, we simply don't support 4kiB pagesize configured
ddf19c
kernels in guest or host, so we can have qemu simply error out in this
ddf19c
situation.

ddf19c
Testing: Attempted to start a guest with cap-hpt-max-page-size=4k and verified
ddf19c
         it failed immediately with a qemu error
