Passing new arguments by value to the visitor callbacks is extremely
inflexible for stuffing new parameters used by only some of the
visitors. Use a context structure instead and pass the pointer through
to the visitor callback.

While at it, redefine the 'flags' parameter to the visitor to contain
the bit indicating the phase of the walk. Pass the entire set of flags
through the context structure such that the walker can communicate
additional state to the visitor callback.

No functional change intended.

Does it make sense to reorder these fields in the context struct based on
their properties.

The ordering was a deliberate optimization for space. Your suggestion
has 8 bytes of implicit padding:


Right, so how about to rearrange these fields like below? It makes
more sense to have @arg after addr/end/ptep.

   struct kvm_pgtable_visit_ctx {
          enum kvm_pgtable_walk_flags     flags;
          u32                             level;
          u64                             addr;
          u64                             end;
          kvm_pte_t                       *ptep;
          void                            *arg;
   };


[...]

Gavin
