SubjectRe: [PATCH v2] virtio_mem: fix panic on mb_states indexing overflow
From
Hi Eric,

> _vm->sbm.first_mb_id == 0

^ that's precisely what I meant.

How could it *ever* be safe on x86-64 to let a virtio-mem device start
on physical address 0, eventually overlapping essentially all DMA, the
BIOS and the PCI hole.

Thus my question: Is this a "fix" for x86-64 or is this a "prepare for"
for !x86-64 (e.g., arm64).

If it's a fix, we want proper "Fixes:" and "Cc: stable" tags. But I
assume this is much rather a preparation for another architecture than
x86-64.

Thanks!
