Upstream status: not applicable
ae23c9
ae23c9
Currently we use the host physical address size by default on
ae23c9
VMs.  This was a good default on most cases, but this is not the
ae23c9
case on host CPUs supporting 5-level EPT.  On those cases, we
ae23c9
want VMs to use 4-level EPT by default.
ae23c9
ae23c9
Ensure VMs will use 4-level EPT by default, by limiting physical
ae23c9
address bits to 48.
ae23c9
ae23c9
Not applicable upstream because upstream doesn't set
ae23c9
host-phys-bits=on by default.
