The full ppgtt is supported in Intel GVT-g device model. So the
restriction can be removed.

Don't we need a feature check for the virtual gpu here? Or at least a
platform check? Seems like the backwards/forwards compat story isn't too
thought out yet here. Note that the kernel of the host and the guest might
not be the same at all, much less the kvm part.

Yeah, backwards/forwards compatibility is not considered, since we are
just to start the upstream of iGVT-g host changes. Right now if people
uses new enough iGVT-g code (off-tree now), both HSW and BDW should
work with PPGTT.

So new host with both old guest or new guest are working. The only
thing impacted is old host with new guest kernel. In order to keep it
work, I can change the code like:

+	if (intel_vgpu_active(dev))
+		has_full_ppgtt = !IS_HASWELL(dev);

Any comments? Thanks for the review!

In the end that's your call (well until we have users screaming that a
kernel upgrade breaks their xengt setup, then you have to keep backwards
compat). But since it's a requirement from Linus Torvalds for upstream I
highly suggest you start thinking/testing for backwards compat (both on
host and guest side when the other part is older) right away. Otherwise
trying to shoehorn a good backwards compat scheme later on could be really
painful.
