This adds the code to construct the second-level ("partition-scoped" in
architecturese) page tables for guests using the radix MMU. Apart from
the PGD level, which is allocated when the guest is created, the rest
of the tree is all constructed in response to hypervisor page faults.
As well as hypervisor page faults for missing pages, we also get faults
for reference/change (RC) bits needing to be set, as well as various
other error conditions. For now, we only set the R or C bit in the
guest page table if the same bit is set in the host PTE for the
backing page.
This code can take advantage of the guest being backed with either
transparent or ordinary 2MB huge pages, and insert 2MB page entries
into the guest page tables. There is no support for 1GB huge pages
yet.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
