Hyperv's synic (that we emulate) is a feature that allows the guest
to place some magic (4k) pages of RAM anywhere it likes in GPA.
This confuses vhost's RAM section merging when these pages
land over the top of hugepages.


Hi David:

A silly question, is this because the alignment when adding sections? If yes, what's the reason for doing alignment which is not a must for vhost memory table.

Thanks



Since they're not normal RAM, and they shouldn't have vhost DMAing
into them, exclude them from the vhost set.

I do that by marking them as device-ram and then excluding device-ram
from vhost.
