The fact is, 99% of the hardware you buy *today* has absolutely zero need

KVM avoids reloading the efer msr when the difference between the guest

hardware) and the NX bit (which is emulated by the KVM MMU).
This patch also allows KVM to ignore SCE (syscall enable) when the guest
is running in 32-bit
When we allow guest page faults to reach the guests directly, we lose
the fault tracking which allows us to detect demand paging. So we provide

Allocate a userspace buffer for older userspaces. Also eliminate phys_mem
buffer. The memset() in kvmctl really kills initial memory usage but swapping
works even with old userspaces.
A side effect is that maximum guest side is reduced for older

Simplify the walker level loop not to carry so much information from one
loop to the next. In addition to being complex, this made kmap_atomic()
critical sections difficult to manage.
As a result of this change, kmap_atomic() sections are limited to actually
touching the guest pte, which allows
We now have a new namespace, KVM_REQ_*, for bits in vcpu-requests.
