[PATCH 0/2] exclude hyperv synic sections from vhost

[Dr. David Alan Gilbert (git)]

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <address@hidden>

Hyperv's synic (that we emulate) is a feature that allows the guest
to place some magic (4k) pages of RAM anywhere it likes in GPA.
This confuses vhost's RAM section merging when these pages
land over the top of hugepages.

Since they're not normal RAM, and they shouldn't have vhost DMAing
into them, exclude them from the vhost set.

I do that by marking them as device-ram and then excluding device-ram
from vhost.

Dr. David Alan Gilbert (2):
  vhost: Don't pass ram device sections
  hyperv/synic: Allocate as ram_device
