The high order bits of the address of the OS event queue is stored in
bits [4-31] of word2 of the XIVE END internal structures and the low
order bits in word3. This structure is using Big Endian ordering and
computing the value requires some simple arithmetic which happens to
be wrong. The mask removing bits [0-3] of word2 is applied to the
wrong value and the resulting address is bogus when above 64GB.
Guests with more than 64GB of RAM will allocate pages for the OS event
queues which will reside above the 64GB limit. In this case, the XIVE
device model will wake up the CPUs in case of a notification, such as
IPIs, but the update of the event queue will be written at the wrong
place in memory. The result is uncertain as the guest memory is
trashed and IPI are not delivered.
Introduce a helper xive_end_qaddr() to compute this value correctly in
all places where it is used.
