Most current POWER guests require 64kiB page support, so that's the default
22c213
for the cap-hpt-max-pagesize option in qemu which limits available guest
22c213
page sizes.  We warn if the value is set smaller than that, but don't
22c213
outright fail upstream, because we need to allow for the possibility of
22c213
guest (and/or host) kernels configured for 4kiB page sizes.
22c213
22c213
Downstream, however, we simply don't support 4kiB pagesize configured
22c213
kernels in guest or host, so we can have qemu simply error out in this
22c213
situation.
22c213
22c213
Testing: Attempted to start a guest with cap-hpt-max-page-size=4k and verified
22c213
         it failed immediately with a qemu error
