This is version 2 of the patches I previously posted here:

 https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250624092256.1105524-1-keirf@google.com/

Changes since v1:

 * Memory barriers introduced (or implied and documented) on the
   kvm->buses[] SRCU read paths

 * Disallow kvm_get_bus() from SRCU readers

 * Rebased to v6.16-rc6

Thanks to Sean for the review feedback and patch suggestions!
