[PATCH v3 0/5] KVM: arm64: nv: Implement nested stage-2 reverse map

Hi,

This is v3 of optimizing the shadow s2 mmu unmapping during MMU
notifiers.

Two new preparatory patches are added, one reduces a hole in kvm_s2_mmu
and another refactors the code a bit during s2 faults. Other changes are
listed below.

* Changes from v2 [1]:

  - Removed "polluted" teminology.

  - Use xa_{mk, to}_value() when storing and retriving values from maple
    trees.

  - Avoid using the 63rd bit in maple tree values so that xa_{mk, to}_value()
    does not lose us a bit.

  - Added reverse map removal during TLBI handling.

  - Other suggested refactorings.

Thanks!
