    drm/i915/gvt/kvmgt: read/write GPA via KVM API · f440c8a5

    Previously to read/write a GPA, we at first try to pin the GFN it belongs
    to, then translate the pinned PFN to a kernel HVA, then read/write it.
    This is however not necessary. A GFN should be pinned IFF it would be
    accessed by peripheral devices (DMA), not by CPU. This patch changes
    the read/write method to KVM API, which will leverage userspace HVA
    and copy_{from|to}_usr instead.
