SEV currently needs to pin guest memory as it doesn't support migrating encrypted pages. Introduce a framework in KVM's MMU to support pinning pages on demand without requiring additional memory allocations, and with (somewhat hazy) line of sight toward supporting more advanced features for encrypted guest memory, e.g. host page migration. The idea is to use a software available bit in the SPTE to track that a page has been pinned. The decision to pin a page and the actual pinning managment is handled by vendor code via kvm_x86_ops hooks. There are intentionally two hooks (zap and unzap) introduced that are not needed for SEV. I included them to again show how the flag (probably renamed?) could be used for more than just pin/unpin. Bugs in the core implementation are pretty much guaranteed. The basic concept has been tested, but in a fairly different incarnation. Most notably, tagging PRESENT SPTEs as PINNED has not been tested, although using the PINNED flag to track zapped (and known to be pinned) SPTEs has been tested. I cobbled this variation together fairly quickly to get the code out there for discussion. The last patch to pin SEV pages during sev_launch_update_data() is incomplete; it's there to show how we might leverage MMU-based pinning to support pinning pages before the guest is live.
