I've just noticed that on a SPARC host, some of the PPC guests

page_size_mask (0x11000). Performance may be slow
Is this really a performance problem on a TCG guest?
It makes the 'make check' output a bit noisy, but not
unbearably so.
From what I can tell this really only affects DDW which should be page
size agnostic when only using emulated devices. Maybe Alexey thought of
using VFIO-pci devices in a TCG guest?
