[PATCH v4 3/7] KVM: Add lockless memslot walk to KVM

James Houghton
2024-05-29T18:06:03Z

Provide flexibility to the architecture to synchronize as optimally as
they can instead of always taking the MMU lock for writing.

The immediate application is to allow architectures to implement the
test/clear_young MMU notifiers more cheaply.
