KVM: PPC: Allow I/O mappings in memory slots
This provides for the case where userspace maps an I/O device into the address range of a memory slot using a VM_PFNMAP mapping. In that case, we work out the pfn from vma->vm_pgoff, and record the cache enable bits from vma->vm_page_prot in two low-order bits in the slot_phys array entries. Then, in kvmppc_h_enter() we check that the cache bits in the HPTE that the guest wants to insert match the cache bits in the slot_phys array entry. However, we do allow the guest to create what it thinks is a non-cacheable or write-through mapping to memory that is actually cacheable, so that we can use normal system memory as part of an emulated device later on. In that case the actual HPTE we insert is a cacheable HPTE. Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>
