Since the host stage 2 will be identity mapped, and since it will own most of memory, it would preferable for performance to try and use large block mappings whenever that is possible. To ease this, introduce a new helper in the KVM page-table code which allows to search for large ranges of available IPA space. This will be used in the host memory abort path to greedily idmap large portion of the PA space.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
