So a hypervisor cannot give a guest a page it may read but not write. get_pfn() gets a writable output, which it may clear. The x86 and arm64 fault paths then map the page without write permission, and a guest write exits with KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT. A read-only answer applies to the whole block that max_order allows. Callers that hand the page to something that writes it must refuse a read-only page: the arm64 VNCR page and the SEV-SNP VMSA. populate() has no writable output, so a backing cannot report read-only state through it. The output does not cover KVM's own writes through the slot's host address. The memory provider backing, later in this series, is the first user.
