@hyeyoo well there's no accounting for out of tree ;) fix should be simple, don't use vmas param. If they are actually using it then lol...

But whole point of patch was to reduce abuse surface area (keep those vmas hanging around and they dangle) so it's all good :)

I use KVM only for kernel development and virtualbox/vmware for other work.

Because I'm not familiar with KVM yet,
maybe this is the chance to completely migrate to KVM ;)
