[PATCH 3/3] docs/system/arm/virt: Fix documentation for the 'highmem' op


From: Marc Zyngier
Subject: [PATCH 3/3] docs/system/arm/virt: Fix documentation for the 'highmem' option
Date: Sun, 22 Aug 2021 15:44:41 +0100

The documentation for the 'highmem' option indicates that it controls
the placement of both devices and RAM. The actual behaviour of QEMU
seems to be that RAM is allowed to go beyond the 4GiB limit, and
that only devices are constraint by this option.

Align the documentation with the actual behaviour.
