Doesn't this give the guest a way to spam the host logs? And in fact
printk in real mode is potentially problematic. I would just leave
out this statement.

I would like to see an explanation of why we are confident that
page_address() will work correctly in real mode, across all the
combinations of config options that we can have for a ppc64 book3s
kernel.

It was there before this patch, I just moved it so I would think it has been explained before :)

There is no combination on PPC to get WANT_PAGE_VIRTUAL enabled.
CONFIG_HIGHMEM is supported for PPC32 only so HASHED_PAGE_VIRTUAL is not enabled on PPC64 either.

So this definition is supposed to work on PPC64:
#define page_address(page) lowmem_page_address(page)

where lowmem_page_address() is arithmetic operation on a page struct address:
static __always_inline void *lowmem_page_address(const struct page *page)
{
return __va(PFN_PHYS(page_to_pfn(page)));
}

PPC32 will use page_address() from mm/highmem.c, I need some lesson about memory layout in 32bit but for now I cannot see how it can possibly fail here.

So, tces is a pointer to somewhere inside a real page. Did we check
somewhere that tces[npages-1] is in the same page as tces[0]? If so,
I missed it. If we didn't, then we probably should check and do
something about it.

Same comment here about tces[i] overflowing a page boundary.

The capability should be described in
Documentation/virtual/kvm/api.txt.

Is it enough description?

===
4.79 KVM_CAP_PPC_MULTITCE

Architectures: ppc
Parameters: none
Returns: 0 on success; -1 on error

This capability enables the guest to put/remove multiple TCE entries
per hypercall which significanly accelerates DMA operations for PPC KVM
guests.

When this capability is enabled, H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT and H_STUFF_TCE are
expected to occur rather than H_PUT_TCE which supports only one TCE entry
per call.
