Paolo Bonzini f0f59d069e KVM x86 MMU changes for 6.7:
- Clean up code that deals with honoring guest MTRRs when the VM has
    non-coherent DMA and host MTRRs are ignored, i.e. EPT is enabled.
 
  - Zap EPT entries when non-coherent DMA assignment stops/start to prevent
    using stale entries with the wrong memtype.
 
  - Don't ignore guest PAT for CR0.CD=1 && KVM_X86_QUIRK_CD_NW_CLEARED=y, as
    there's zero reason to ignore guest PAT if the effective MTRR memtype is WB.
    This will also allow for future optimizations of handling guest MTRR updates
    for VMs with non-coherent DMA and the quirk enabled.
 
  - Harden the fast page fault path to guard against encountering an invalid
    root when walking SPTEs.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
