[PATCH 18/41] KVM: Allow kernel to select size of mmap() buffer

Avi Kivity
2007-04-01T14:35:15Z

This allows us to store offsets in the kernel/user kvm_run area, and be
sure that userspace has them mapped. As offsets can be outside the
kvm_run struct, userspace has no way of knowing how much to mmap.
