It appears that over the years, we have accumulated a lot of cruft in the kvm_vcpu_arch structure. Part of the gunk is data that is strictly host CPU specific, and this result in two main problems: - the structure itself is stupidly large, over 8kB. With the arch-agnostic kvm_vcpu, we're above 10kB, which is insane. This has some ripple effects, as we need physically contiguous allocation to be able to map it at EL2 for !VHE. There is more to it though, as some data structures, although per-vcpu, could be allocated separately. - We lose track of the life-cycle of this data, because we're guaranteed that it will be around forever and we start relying on wrong assumptions. This is becoming a maintenance burden. This series rectifies some of these things, starting with the two main offenders: debug and FP, a lot of which gets pushed out to the per-CPU host structure. Indeed, their lifetime really isn't that of the vcpu, but tied to the physical CPU the vpcu runs on. This results in a small reduction of the vcpu size, but mainly a much clearer understanding of the life-cycle of these structures. Patches against v6.8-rc6.
