The adapter interrupt page containing the indicator bits is currently
pinned. That means that a guest with many devices can pin a lot of
memory pages in the host. This also complicates the reference tracking
which is needed for memory management handling of protected virtual
machines. It might also have some strange side effects for madvise
MADV_DONTNEED and other things.
We can simply try to get the userspace page set the bits and free the
page. By storing the userspace address in the irq routing entry instead
of the guest address we can actually avoid many lookups and list walks
so that this variant is very likely not slower.
If userspace messes around with the memory slots the worst thing that
can happen is that we write to some other memory within that process.
As we get the the page with FOLL_WRITE this can also not be used to
write to shared read-only pages.

This document is almost in ReST format. The only thing
needed is to mark a list as such and to add an extra
whitespace.
Yet, let's also use the standard document title markup,
as it makes easier if anyone wants later to add sessions
to it.

Add a new attribute to both XIVE and XICS-on-XIVE KVM devices so that
userspace can tell how many interrupt servers it needs. If a VM needs
less than the current default of KVM_MAX_VCPUS (2048), we can allocate
less VPs in OPAL. Combined with a core stride (VSMT) that matches the
number of guest threads per core, this may substantially increases the
number of VMs that can run concurrently with an in-kernel XIVE device.
Since the legacy XIVE KVM device is exposed to userspace through the
XICS KVM API, a new attribute group is added to it for this purpose.
While here, fix the syntax of the existing KVM_DEV_XICS_GRP_SOURCES
in the XICS documentation.

Introduce a paravirtualization interface for KVM/arm64 based on the
"Arm Paravirtualized Time for Arm-Base Systems" specification DEN 0057A.
This only adds the details about "Stolen Time" as the details of "Live
Physical Time" have not been fully agreed.
User space can specify a reserved area of memory for the guest and
inform KVM to populate the memory with information on time that the host
kernel has stolen from the guest.
A hypercall interface is provided for the guest to interrogate the
hypervisor's support for this interface and the location of the shared
memory structures.

Renaming docs seems to be en vogue at the moment, so fix on of the
grossly misnamed directories. We usually never use "virtual" as
a shortcut for virtualization in the kernel, but always virt,
as seen in the virt/ top-level directory. Fix up the documentation
to match that.
