-additional = """We set physical address bits to 40 if ARM_FEATURE_LPAE is enabled. But ARM_FEATURE_V7VE also implies ARM_FEATURE_LPAE as set later in arm_cpu_realizefn.
-
-We should add condition for ARM_FEATURE_V7VE, otherwise we would not be able to use highmem larger than 3GB even though we have enabled highmem, since we would fail and return right from machvirt_init.

-I have already made a patch to fix this issue.

-After applying the patch, I can make sure that the pa_bits has already been set to 40, but qemu hangs later. By bisecting I found if the following commit is reverted qemu can boot up successfully..

-It can't be quickly determined what's going on here at my side. Maybe the author can help give some hints. Thanks."""
