Why can't we just store a pointer directly to struct kvm in ::private?
Also, shouldn't you take a reference on struct kvm when the file is
opened to protect against VM teardown?

What is the list for?

Taking the mmu lock for read allows other table walkers to add new
mappings and adjust the granularity of existing ones. Should this
instead take the mmu lock for write?

You want GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT here.
