Use an opaque type for pteps and require visitors explicitly dereference the pointer before using. Protecting page table memory with RCU requires that KVM dereferences RCU-annotated pointers before using. However, RCU is not available for use in the nVHE hypervisor and the opaque type can be conditionally annotated with RCU for the stage-2 MMU. Call the type a 'pteref' to avoid a naming collision with raw pteps. No functional change intended.

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.
