    kvm: Remove ept_identity_pagetable from struct kvm_arch. · a255d479
    Tang Chen authored
    kvm_arch->ept_identity_pagetable holds the ept identity pagetable page. But
    it is never used to refer to the page at all.
    
    In vcpu initialization, it indicates two things:
    1. indicates if ept page is allocated
    2. indicates if a memory slot for identity page is initialized
    
    Actually, kvm_arch->ept_identity_pagetable_done is enough to tell if the ept
    identity pagetable is initialized. So we can remove ept_identity_pagetable.
    
    NOTE: In the original code, ept identity pagetable page is pinned in memroy.
          As a result, it cannot be migrated/hot-removed. After this patch, since
          kvm_arch->ept_identity_pagetable is removed, ept identity pagetable page
          is no longer pinned in memory. And it can be migrated/hot-removed.
