The reason for that is to

Chances are very
slim you can allocate a contiguous 9 MiB buffer at any arbitrary time.
Fair enough, but then they don't need to happen as early as they do now;

Hi Ben,
thanks for your detailed introduction to the requirements for POWER. Its
good to know that the granularity problem is not x86-only.

Hello,
Some time ago (July 24th 2009 my mailbox says) I emailed you and the
linuxppc-dev list about my problems booting from the mesh SCSI
controller.
I just compiled 2.6.31 (actually, gentoo-sources-2.6.31-r10); but the
problem
KVM_GUEST adds a 1 MB array to the kernel (kvm_tmp) which grew
my kernel enough to cause it to fail to boot.
Dynamically allocating or reducing the size of this array is a
good idea, but in the meantime I think it makes sense to make
KVM_GUEST default to n in order to minimise surprises.
