Hi Peter,

Are you still working on this patch series? I'm working on having KVM remove
virtual machine memory from the kernel's direct map, to harden again
speculative execution attacks [1]. At David H.'s LSF/MM/BPF task on
guest_memfd, it was suggested to use per-modname namespaces to export
set_direct_map_valid() specifically for use in KVM to achieve this.

Is there anything I can do to help get this across the finish line
(testing/etc.)?

Best,
Patrick
