I think patch 11 can be committed (more or less). You would actually move it to the beginning of the series and have "allow_smaller_maxphyaddr = !enable_ept;" for VMX. It is then changed to "allow_smaller_maxphyaddr = true;" in "KVM: VMX: Add guest physical address check in EPT violation and misconfig". In fact, it would be a no-brainer to commit patch 11 in that form, so feel free to submit it separately. Thanks, Paolo
