The KVM_GET_NR_MMU_PAGES ioctl is quite questionable on 64-bit hosts since it fails to return the full 64 bits of the value that can be set with the corresponding KVM_SET_NR_MMU_PAGES call. Its "long" return value is truncated into an "int" in the kvm_arch_vm_ioctl() function. Since this ioctl also never has been used by userspace applications (QEMU, Google's internal VMM, kvmtool and CrosVM have been checked), it's likely the best if we remove this badly designed ioctl before anybody really tries to use it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
