Initialize allow_smaller_maxphyaddr during hardware setup as soon as KVM knows whether or not TDP will be utilized. To avoid having to teach KVM's emulator all about CET, KVM's upcoming CET virtualization support will be mutually exclusive with allow_smaller_maxphyaddr, i.e. will disable SHSTK and IBT if allow_smaller_maxphyaddr is enabled. In general, allow_smaller_maxphyaddr should be initialized as soon as possible since it's globally visible while its only input is whether or not EPT/NPT is enabled. I.e. there's effectively zero risk of setting allow_smaller_maxphyaddr too early, and substantial risk of setting it too late.

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 reStructuredText 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.
