Hi all,

Here's version four of the KVM page-table rework I previously posted here:

   v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200730153406.25136-1-will@xxxxxxxxxx
   v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200818132818.16065-1-will@xxxxxxxxxx
   v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200825093953.26493-1-will@xxxxxxxxxx

Changes since v3 include:

   * Removed some more unused code from the old implementation
   * Renumbered KVM_PGTABLE_PROT_* to match file permissions in hex dumps
   * Simplified kvm_granule_shift() and removed kvm_start_level()
   * Only clear valid bit when invalidating a PTE, leaving phys addr intact
   * Fail gracefully when attempting to allocate without a memory cache
   * Rewrote stage2_apply_range() as a function instead of a macro
   * Fixed fault address rounding with hugetlbfs
   * Fixed permission fault handling when dirty logging is enabled
   * Added comments
   * Added reviewer tags

Many thanks to Alex and Gavin for their comments.

Eventually, I'm lucky finding a machine from our pool where 16KB page
size is supported. I tried this series (v4) on this machine, everything
looks good as we expected:

   Host:   5.9.0-rc3 + patchset (v4)
           CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS=47
           CONFIG_ARM64_PAGE_SHIFT=14
           Hugepagesize: 32768 kB      (from /proc/meminfo)
   Config: -HugeTLBfs/-THP
           +HugeTLBfs/-THP
           -HugeTLBfs/THP
   Guest:  CONFIG_ARM64_PAGE_SHIFT=12/14/16

Let me know in case there are more tests needed from my side.

Thanks,
Gavin
