Rename vm_create() to vm_create_barebones() and drop the @phys_pages param. Pass '0' for the number of pages even though some callers pass 'DEFAULT_GUEST_PHY_PAGES', as the intent behind creating truly barebones VMs is purely to create a VM, i.e. there aren't vCPUs, there's no guest code loaded, etc..., and so there is nothing that will ever need or consume guest memory. Freeing up the name vm_create() will allow using the name for an inner helper to the other VM creators, which need a "full" VM. Opportunisticaly rewrite the function comment for addr_gpa2alias() to focus on what the _function_ does, not what its _sole caller_ does.

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.
