KVM was switched to interrupt-based mechanism for 'page ready' event delivery in Linux-5.8 (see commit2635b5c4a0("KVM: x86: interrupt based APF 'page ready' event delivery")) and #PF (ab)use for 'page ready' event delivery was removed. Linux guest switched to this new mechanism exclusively in 5.9 (see commitb1d405751c("KVM: x86: Switch KVM guest to using interrupts for page ready APF delivery")) so it is not possible to get #PF for a 'page ready' event even when the guest is running on top of an older KVM (APF mechanism won't be enabled). Update the comment in exc_page_fault() to reflect the new reality.

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.
