O-Subject: [RHELAV-8.0/rhel qemu-kvm PATCH] BZ1653590: Require at least 64kiB pages for downstream guests & hosts
Bugzilla: 1653590

Most current POWER guests require 64kiB page support, so that's the default
for the cap-hpt-max-pagesize option in qemu which limits available guest
page sizes.  We warn if the value is set smaller than that, but don't
outright fail upstream, because we need to allow for the possibility of
guest (and/or host) kernels configured for 4kiB page sizes.

Downstream, however, we simply don't support 4kiB pagesize configured
kernels in guest or host, so we can have qemu simply error out in this
situation.

Testing: Attempted to start a guest with cap-hpt-max-page-size=4k and verified
         it failed immediately with a qemu error
