Yes, you are right, identity_base is 0xfffbc000 in my case and KVM_CAP_SET_IDENTITY_MAP_ADDR is not defined. So, as I understand, the problem is that BIOS size is too large and I have too old KVM module. Also I'm not sure if I can use KVM on 32-bit host for emulating 64-bit guests. Best regards,

Seabios has the patch to address the similar issue with the changeset of b82a1e49fc0e72fb9bf1a642d6aa707345b0f398, which enables memory/io unconditionally. I suppose the EFI bios is very old so that it has the same issue. I think the following file is the one to modify. efi-vfirmware.hg/edk2-spa
