Change a WARN_ON() to separate WARN_ON_ONCE() if KVM has an outstanding PIO or MMIO request without an associated callback, i.e. if KVM queued a userspace I/O exit but didn't actually exit to userspace before moving on to something else. Warning on every KVM_RUN risks spamming the kernel if KVM gets into a bad state. Opportunistically split the WARNs so that it's easier to triage failures when a WARN fires. Deliberately do not use KVM_BUG_ON(), i.e. don't kill the VM. While the WARN is all but guaranteed to fire if and only if there's a KVM bug, a dangling I/O request does not present a danger to KVM (that flag is truly truly consumed only in a single emulator path), and any such bug is unlikely to be fatal to the VM (KVM essentially failed to do something it shouldn't have tried to do in the first place). In other words, note the bug, but let the VM keep running.

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.
