Hi,
I was asked about x86 Guests of >1TB in size. And while some discussions where around qemu/libvirt and host-phys-bits [1] I realized that in Seabios I need exactly what is already in CentOS/RHEL [2] to get the phys-bits passed on.
The change [2] itself is rather old, so I wondered if I'm missing that this was implemented in a totally different way. Do I have to switch/set options these days instead of using that patch?
But I saw that it is still applied even to rather recent versions.
So the question become why the change is not upstream yet?
Was it maybe discussed in the past and Nack'ed for some reason?
I didn't find the discussion if that is the case and would appreciate the pointer.
We are closing in to make 1TB more common rather quickly, so I wonder if really nothing would speak against it - would it be reasonable to consider committing that upstream to Seabios these days?
