Attempting to boot 32-bit ARM kernels under QEMU's 3.x virt models fails when we have more than 512M of RAM in the model as we run out of vmalloc space for the PCI ECAM regions. This failure will be silent when running libvirt, as the console in that situation is a PCI device. In this configuration, the kernel maps the whole ECAM, which QEMU sets up for 256 buses, even when maybe only seven buses are in use. Each bus uses 1M of ECAM space, and ioremap() adds an additional guard page between allocations. The kernel vmap allocator will align these regions to 512K, resulting in each mapping eating 1.5M of vmalloc space. This means we need 384M of vmalloc space just to map all of these, which is very wasteful of resources. Fix this by only mapping the ECAM for buses we are going to be using. In my setups, this is around seven buses in most guests, which is 10.5M of vmalloc space - way smaller than the 384M that would otherwise be required. This also means that the kernel can boot without forcing extra RAM into highmem with the vmalloc= argument, or decreasing the virtual RAM available to the guest.

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.
