Hi Huang,

thanks for the patch.

-----Original Message-----
> For DISKDUMP case, we can get VA_BITS_ACTUAL from CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS.

I could not understand this, there is a case where CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS
is different from VA_BITS_ACTUAL and why is this only for DISKDUMP case?

If the patch intends to guess the value of VA_BITS_ACTUAL to be the same as
CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS when no NUMBER(TCR_EL1_T1SZ), I think that DISKDUMP
check is not needed and it would be better to write such a commit log and
a comment e.g. "/* guess */" on the else if block.

Thanks,
Kazu
