    KVM: add vcpu-specific functions to read/write/translate GFNs · 8e73485c

    We need to hide SMRAM from guests not running in SMM.  Therefore, all
    uses of kvm_read_guest* and kvm_write_guest* must be changed to use
    different address spaces, depending on whether the VCPU is in system
    management mode.  We need to introduce a new family of functions for
    this purpose.
    
    For now, the VCPU-based functions have the same behavior as the
    existing per-VM ones, they just accept a different type for the
    first argument.  Later however they will be changed to use one of many
    "struct kvm_memslots" stored in struct kvm, through an architecture hook.
    VM-based functions will unconditionally use the first memslots pointer.
    
    Whenever possible, this patch introduces slot-based functions with an
    __ prefix, with two wrappers for generic and vcpu-based actions.
    The exceptions are kvm_read_guest and kvm_write_guest, which are copied
    into the new functions kvm_vcpu_read_guest and kvm_vcpu_write_guest.
