I'm happy to grow the cache on MAPI, but that doesn't solve the real problem: how do we cap it to a value that is "good enough"? > Otherwise there is an existing interface between KVM and VFIO that may > be leveraged to pass info between both? Same thing. The problem is in defining the limit. I guess only people deploying real workloads can tell us what is a reasonable default, and we can also make that a tuneable parameter...
