is acceptable?
I think you can keep the bitmap in userspace, but replace the vmalloc()
with get_user_pages() and vmap() (in arch/ia64). 'dirty_bitmap' can
then be in kvm->arch.
Note: this will likely break ia64 without testing. Please copy the
patches to kvm-ia64@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx so they can test and fix them if
they want to.
The patches should at least build, though. If you don't have an ia64
machine, I can build-test them for you.

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
