We already allocate hardware TCE tables in multiple levels and skip intermediate levels when we can, now it is a turn of the KVM TCE tables. Thankfully these are allocated already in 2 levels. This moves the table's last level allocation from the creating helper to kvmppc_tce_put() and kvm_spapr_tce_fault(). Since such allocation cannot be done in real mode, this creates a virtual mode version of kvmppc_tce_put() which handles allocations. This adds kvmppc_rm_ioba_validate() to do an additional test if the consequent kvmppc_tce_put() needs a page which has not been allocated; if this is the case, we bail out to virtual mode handlers. The allocations are protected by a new mutex as kvm->lock is not suitable for the task because the fault handler is called with the mmap_sem held but kvmhv_setup_mmu() locks kvm->lock and mmap_sem in the reverse order.

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.
