[RFC 08/12] KVM/VMX: Use the new host mapping API for mapping nested PML

From: KarimAllah Ahmed
Date: Mon Feb 05 2018 - 13:50:54 EST


For nested guests the PML page was mapped to the host kernel using
kvm_vcpu_gpa_to_page which assumes that all guest memory is backed by a
"struct page". This breaks guests that have their memory outside the kernel
control.

Switch to the new host mapping API which takes care of this use-case as
well.
