This patch introduces a struct with two new fields in
vcpu_arch for x86:

* fault.address
* fault.error_code

This will be used to correctly propagate page faults back
into the guest when we could have either an ordinary page
fault or a nested page fault. In the case of a nested page
fault the fault-address is different from the original
address that should be walked. So we need to keep track
about the real fault-address.



-static void emulate_pf(struct x86_emulate_ctxt *ctxt, unsigned long addr,
- int err)
+static void emulate_pf(struct x86_emulate_ctxt *ctxt)
{
- ctxt->cr2 = addr;
- emulate_exception(ctxt, PF_VECTOR, err, true);
+ emulate_exception(ctxt, PF_VECTOR, 0, true);
}

What happened to the error code?

Ah. Not lovely, but it was ugly before as well.

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
signature is too narrow to contain.
