Originally, we have three code paths that can dirty a page without vcpu context for X86: - init_rmode_identity_map - init_rmode_tss - kvmgt_rw_gpa init_rmode_identity_map and init_rmode_tss will be setup on destination VM no matter what (and the guest cannot even see them), so it does not make sense to track them at all. To do this, allow __x86_set_memory_region() to return the userspace address that just allocated to the caller. Then in both of the functions we directly write to the userspace address instead of calling kvm_write_*() APIs. Another trivial change is that we don't need to explicitly clear the identity page table root in init_rmode_identity_map() because no matter what we'll write to the whole page with 4M huge page entries.

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.
