Subject: [PATCH] KVM: MMU: Disassociate direct maps from guest levels
Date: Sun, 14 Mar 2010 10:22:52 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1268554972-9827-1-git-send-email-avi@redhat.com> (raw)
Direct maps are linear translations for a section of memory, used for
real mode or with large pages. As such, they are independent of the guest
levels.
Teach the mmu about this by making page->role.glevels = 0 for direct maps.
This allows direct maps to be shared among real mode and the various paging
modes.
