3.16.84-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopher...@intel.com>
commit e30a7d623dccdb3f880fbcad980b0cb589a1da45 upstream.
Remove the bogus 64-bit only condition from the check that disables MMIO
spte optimization when the system supports the max PA, i.e. doesn't have
any reserved PA bits. 32-bit KVM always uses PAE paging for the shadow
MMU, and per Intel's SDM:
PAE paging translates 32-bit linear addresses to 52-bit physical
addresses.
The kernel's restrictions on max physical addresses are limits on how
much memory the kernel can reasonably use, not what physical addresses
are supported by hardware.
Fixes: ce88decffd17 ("KVM: MMU: mmio page fault support")
