    KVM: s390: reduce number of IO pins to 1 · 77491129
    Christian Borntraeger authored
    The current number of KVM_IRQCHIP_NUM_PINS results in an order 3
    allocation (32kb) for each guest start/restart. This can result in OOM
    killer activity even with free swap when the memory is fragmented
    enough:

    As far as I can tell s390x does not use the iopins as we bail our for
    anything other than KVM_IRQ_ROUTING_S390_ADAPTER and the chip/pin is
    only used for KVM_IRQ_ROUTING_IRQCHIP. So let us use a small number to
    reduce the memory footprint.
