For partition running on PHYP, there can be a adjunct partition
which shares the virtual address range with the operating system.
Virtual address ranges which can be used by the adjunct partition
are communicated with virtual device node of the device tree with
a property known as "ibm,reserved-virtual-addresses". This patch
introduces a new function named 'validate_reserved_va_range' which
is called inside 'setup_system' to validate that these reserved
virtual address ranges do not overlap with the address ranges used
by the kernel for all supported memory contexts. This helps prevent
the possibility of getting return codes similar to H_RESOURCE for
H_PROTECT hcalls for conflicting HPTE entries.
Good plan.

I don't see why this can't just be an initcall in hash_utils_64.c, rather than
being called from here.

Please define a properly endian-annotated struct which encodes the layout.

It can be local to the function if that works.

You don't need to do a find, the get below will do it for you.

How can it work to test a __be64 against a non-byte-swapped mask ? But like I
said above, please do this with a struct and proper endian conversions.

This should print nothing in the success case.

But here you should provide more detail. The first thing a debugger will need
to know is what address overlapped.
