[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] target-i386: Sanity check host processor physical address width |

User-agent: |
Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/24.5 (gnu/linux) |
If a Linux guest is assigned more memory than is supported
by the host processor, the guest is unable to boot. That
is expected, however, there's no message indicating the user
what went wrong. This change prints a message to stderr if
KVM has the corresponding capability.
