In nVHE protected mode, the EL2 code uses a temporary allocator during
boot while re-creating its stage-1 page-table. Unfortunately, the
hyp_vmmemap is not ready to use at this stage, so refcounting pages
is not possible. That is not currently a problem because hyp stage-1
mappings are never removed, which implies refcounting of page-table
pages is unnecessary.
In preparation for allowing hypervisor stage-1 mappings to be removed,
provide stub implementations for {get,put}_page() in the early allocator.

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.
