This confused me a bit, as the annotation is stored in the page-table, not
at the memory identified by @addr. How about:

  "Base intermediate physical address to annotate"

  "Size of the annotated range"

Perhaps, "By default, all page-tables are owned by identifier 0"

Is there a need for the owner_id to be 32-bit rather than e.g. 16-bit? Just
strikes me that it might be difficult to recover these bits in future if we
give them out freely now.

Ah, so that '02' earlier was a typo for '32'.

This new name throws me, because it will return true if old == new.

This feels like a bit of a hack to me: the 'attr' field in stage2_map_data
is intended to correspond directly to the lower/upper attributes of the
descriptor as per the architecture, so tagging the valid bit in there is
pretty grotty. However, I can see the significant advantage in being able
to re-use the stage2_map_walker functionality, so about instead of nobbling
attr, you set phys to something invalid instead, e.g.:

	#define KVM_PHYS_SET_OWNER	(-1ULL)

Why do you clear the pte unconditionally here? I think you can move that
into the 'if' as well.

Same here.

Oh man, now I see why phys is zero -- so that the table callbacks will
put down the largest possible block. That needs a comment because it's
pretty horrible, and also means my idea of using -1 won't help you. Hmm.

Is there ever a reason to use kvm_pgtable_stage2_set_owner() to set an
owner of 0, or should you just use the map/unmap APIs for that? If so,
then maybe the key is simply if owner_id is non-zero, then an invalid
entry is installed?
