mainlining shenanigans
567a9f1e9d
The naming VM_MODE_P52V48_4K is explicit but unclear when used on x86_64 machines, because x86_64 machines are having various physical address width rather than some static values. Here's some examples: - Intel Xeon E3-1220: 36 bits - Intel Core i7-8650: 39 bits - AMD EPYC 7251: 48 bits All of them are using 48 bits linear address width but with totally different physical address width (and most of the old machines should be less than 52 bits). Let's create a new guest mode called VM_MODE_PXXV48_4K for current x86_64 tests and make it as the default to replace the old naming of VM_MODE_P52V48_4K because it shows more clearly that the PA width is not really a constant. Meanwhile we also stop assuming all the x86 machines are having 52 bits PA width but instead we fetch the real vm->pa_bits from CPUID 0x80000008 during runtime. We currently make this exclusively used by x86_64 but no other arch. As a slight touch up, moving DEBUG macro from dirty_log_test.c to kvm_util.h so lib can use it too.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
