Hi,
Following Jiaxun Yang's patch and discussion:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11416915/
- Rename the current machine as 'malta-virt' (keeping 'malta' aliased)
Suggestions for better names are welcome, maybe 'malta-unreal' or
'malta-unleashed' instead?
- Add 'malta-phys' which respects hardware restrictions (on RAM so far)
- Unleash 'malta-virt' to allow more than 2GB on 64-bit
Philippe Mathieu-Daudé (7):
hw/mips/malta: Trivial code movement
hw/mips/malta: Register the machine as a TypeInfo
hw/mips/malta: Rename 'malta' machine as 'malta-virt'
hw/mips/malta: Introduce MaltaMachineClass::max_ramsize
hw/mips/malta: Introduce the 'malta-phys' machine
hw/mips/malta: Verify malta-phys machine uses correct DIMM sizes
hw/mips/malta: Allow more than 2GB on 64-bit malta-virt

Thank you, Philippe, for providing this series.
However, in previous discussion on the patch you mention above, I already expressed serious reservations on the approach taken in that patch. These reservations stay today too.
There is nothing qualitatively different between the original patch and this series. Naming and related stuff are just cosmetic issues.
The good thing about this series is that one can apply it dowstream, if one finds it useful. However, it is not suitable for upstreaming
Regards,
Aleksandar
