[PATCH 0/2] Fixes for FWB

Hi folks,

This is an alternative solution to the KVM_PGTABLE_PROT_S2_NOFWB patch I
shared earlier (and which is a bit of a hack).

With this series we basically force FWB off for the host stage-2, even
when the CPUs support it. This is done by passing flags to the pgtable
init function, and propagating it down where needed. It's a bit more
intrusive, but cleaner conceptually.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Quentin
