Extended GVA ranges support bit seems to indicate whether lower 12
bits of GVA can be used to specify up to 4095 additional consequent
GVAs to flush. This is somewhat described in TLFS.
Previously, KVM was handling HVCALL_FLUSH_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_LIST{,EX}
requests by flushing the whole VPID so technically, extended GVA
ranges were already supported. As such requests are handled more
gently now, advertizing support for extended ranges starts making
sense to reduce the size of TLB flush requests.

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.
