[PULL 07/23] hw/arm/virt: KVM: Probe for KVM_CAP_ARM_VM_IPA_SIZE when creating scratch VM

[Peter Maydell]

From: Marc Zyngier <maz@kernel.org>

Although we probe for the IPA limits imposed by KVM (and the hardware)
when computing the memory map, we still use the old style '0' when
creating a scratch VM in kvm_arm_create_scratch_host_vcpu().

On systems that are severely IPA challenged (such as the Apple M1),
this results in a failure as KVM cannot use the default 40bit that
'0' represents.

Instead, probe for the extension and use the reported IPA limit
if available.
