c49ee0329ff3 ("SUPPORT.md: limit security support for hosts with very
much memory"), as a result of XSA-385, restricted security support to
8 TiB of host memory. Extend this to 12 TiB, putting in place a guest
restriction to 8 TiB in exchange.A 12 TiB host was certified successfully for use with Xen 4.14 as per https://www.suse.com/nbswebapp/yesBulletin.jsp?bulletinNumber=150753. This in particular included running as many guests (2 TiB each) as possible in parallel, to actually prove that all the memory can be used like this. It may be relevant to note that the Optane memory there was used in memory-only mode, with DRAM acting as cache.
