[PATCH v6 17/18] kvm: arm64: Limit the minimum number of page table levels
From: Suzuki K Poulose
Date: Wed Sep 26 2018 - 12:34:18 EST
Since we are about to remove the lower limit on the IPA size,
make sure that we do not go to 1 level page table (e.g, with
32bit IPA on 64K host with concatenation) to avoid splitting
the host PMD huge pages at stage2.
