Upstream status: not applicable
26ba25
26ba25
Currently we use the host physical address size by default on
26ba25
VMs.  This was a good default on most cases, but this is not the
26ba25
case on host CPUs supporting 5-level EPT.  On those cases, we
26ba25
want VMs to use 4-level EPT by default.
26ba25
26ba25
Ensure VMs will use 4-level EPT by default, by limiting physical
26ba25
address bits to 48.
26ba25
26ba25
Not applicable upstream because upstream doesn't set
26ba25
host-phys-bits=on by default.
