That would certainly be easiest when it is acceptable from a performance
point of view.  Will also simplify the code because you don't have to
split the low memory block into accepted/unaccepted parts.

It'll be 3G (-machine pc) or 2G (-machine q35) of memory.
Is it possible to accept gigabyte pages btw?

And, yes, this might be enough that accept-on-demand is not needed any
more.

take care,
  Gerd
