Subject: [PATCH v2 1/9] KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix H_REGISTER_VPA VPA size validation

From: Nicholas Piggin <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 13 Aug 2017 11:33:38 +1000

KVM currently validates the size of the VPA registered by the client
against sizeof(struct lppaca), however we align (and therefore size)
that struct to 1kB to avoid crossing a 4kB boundary in the client.

PAPR calls for sizes >= 640 bytes to be accepted. Hard code this with
a comment.
