[PATCH v2 29/30] KVM: arm64: Simplify integration of adjust_nested_*_perms()

Fri Mar 27 04:36:17 PDT 2026


Instead of passing pointers to adjust_nested_*_perms(), allow
them to return a new set of permissions.

With some careful moving around so that the canonical permissions
are computed before the nested ones are applied, we end-up with
a bit less code, and something a bit more readable.
