[ Commit a37dac5c5d upstream ]
The UEFI spec does not mention or reason about the configured size of
the virtual address space at all, but it does mention that all memory
should be identity mapped using a page size of 4 KiB.
This means that a LPA2 capable system that has any system memory outside
of the 48-bit addressable physical range and follows the spec to the
letter may serve page allocation requests from regions of memory that
the kernel cannot access unless it was built with LPA2 support and
enables it at runtime.
So let's ensure that all page allocations are limited to the 48-bit
range.

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.
