    KVM: PPC: Book3S: Make magic page properly 4k mappable · 89b68c96
    Alexander Graf authored
    The magic page is defined as a 4k page of per-vCPU data that is shared
    between the guest and the host to accelerate accesses to privileged
    registers.
    
    However, when the host is using 64k page size granularity we weren't quite
    as strict about that rule anymore. Instead, we partially treated all of the
    upper 64k as magic page and mapped only the uppermost 4k with the actual
    magic contents.
    
    This works well enough for Linux which doesn't use any memory in kernel
    space in the upper 64k, but Mac OS X got upset. So this patch makes magic
    page actually stay in a 4k range even on 64k page size hosts.
    
    This patch fixes magic page usage with Mac OS X (using MOL) on 64k PAGE_SIZE
    hosts for me.
