hm, this iterator turned out to be more complex than i thought it
would become. Avi, are you still happy with that?

This wants to move into a set-accessed-bit helper inline.

This condition wants to move into a is-pte-large inline function.

And this would look cleaner if it was in a handle-large-pte inline function?

Btw., there's a stylistic trick you could use here to make the
iteration logic even clearer:
switch (ret) {
case WALK_NEXT: break;
case WALK_DONE: goto walk_done;
case WALK_RETRY: goto walk_retry;
case WALK_NOT_PRESENT: errcode |= PFERR_PRESENT_MASK; goto error;
case WALK_RSVD_FAULT: errcode |= PFERR_RSVD_MASK; goto error;
case WALK_ERROR: goto error;
case WALK_ABORT: return 0;
}
But it's a pure matter of taste - it might not really fit into KVM
code. Avi's call :-)
Thanks,
Ingo
