Now that all kvm_vcpu_{,un}map() users pass "true" for @dirty, have them
pass "true" as a @writable param to kvm_vcpu_map(), and thus create a
read-only mapping when possible.
Note, creating read-only mappings can be theoretically slower, as they
don't play nice with fast GUP due to the need to break CoW before mapping
the underlying PFN. But practically speaking, creating a mapping isn't
a super hot path, and getting a writable mapping for reading is weird and
confusing.

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 reStructuredText 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.
