The H_ENTER_NESTED hypercall receives as second parameter the address of a region of memory containing the values for the nested guest privileged registers. We currently use the pt_regs structure contained within kvm_vcpu_arch for that end. Most hypercalls that receive a memory address expect that region to not cross a 4K page boundary. We would want H_ENTER_NESTED to follow the same pattern so this patch ensures the pt_regs structure sits within a page. Note: the pt_regs structure is currently 384 bytes in size, so aligning to 512 is sufficient to ensure it will not cross a 4K page and avoids punching too big a hole in struct kvm_vcpu_arch.

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.
