This is confusing.  What's the difference between an "eq attribute"
and an "eq attribute value"?  Is the first actually a queue index or
a queue identifier?

Also, the kvm_ppc_xive_eq is not 64 bits, so the comment above it is
wrong.  Maybe you meant "64-byte"?

Isn't this assuming that we can map the whole queue with a single
gfn_to_page?  That would only be true if kvm_eq.qsize <= PAGE_SHIFT.
What happens if kvm_eq.qsize > PAGE_SHIFT?

Paul.
