Upstream status: not applicable
Currently we use the host physical address size by default on
VMs. This was a good default on most cases, but this is not the
case on host CPUs supporting 5-level EPT. On those cases, we
want VMs to use 4-level EPT by default.
Ensure VMs will use 4-level EPT by default, by limiting physical
address bits to 48.
Not applicable upstream because upstream doesn't set
host-phys-bits=on by default.
