How useful/practical 64K window would be? Should it be reasonably large (like 64Mb or similar), or mirror lower windows size? CCing Gerd, to look at it from firmware POV. wrt 64K magic value, it opencoded in several places. I'd use a macro for that. > > Signed-off-by: Akihiko Odaki <[email protected]> > --- > docs/system/arm/virt.rst | 2 +- > include/hw/arm/virt.h | 1 + > hw/arm/virt.c | 22 ++++++++++++++-------- > 3 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/docs/system/arm/virt.rst b/docs/system/arm/virt.rst > index f811e662d68d..c8284ce2fa0e 100644 > --- a/docs/system/arm/virt.rst > +++ b/docs/system/arm/virt.rst > @@ -149,7 +149,7 @@ highmem-mmio > > highmem-mmio-size > Set the high memory region size for PCI MMIO.
