    x86/kvm: Update the comment about asynchronous page fault in exc_page_fault() · 66af4f5c
    Vitaly Kuznetsov authored
    KVM was switched to interrupt-based mechanism for 'page ready' event
    delivery in Linux-5.8 (see commit 2635b5c4 ("KVM: x86: interrupt based
    APF 'page ready' event delivery")) and #PF (ab)use for 'page ready' event
    delivery was removed. Linux guest switched to this new mechanism
    exclusively in 5.9 (see commit b1d40575 ("KVM: x86: Switch KVM guest to
    using interrupts for page ready APF delivery")) so it is not possible to
    get #PF for a 'page ready' event even when the guest is running on top
    of an older KVM (APF mechanism won't be enabled). Update the comment in
    exc_page_fault() to reflect the new reality.
