KVM: Pin (as in FOLL_PIN) pages during kvm_vcpu_map()
Pin, as in FOLL_PIN, pages when mapping them for direct access by KVM. As per Documentation/core-api/pin_user_pages.rst, writing to a page that was gotten via FOLL_GET is explicitly disallowed. Correct (uses FOLL_PIN calls): pin_user_pages() write to the data within the pages unpin_user_pages() INCORRECT (uses FOLL_GET calls): get_user_pages() write to the data within the pages put_page() Unfortunately, FOLL_PIN is a "private" flag, and so kvm_follow_pfn must use a one-off bool instead of being able to piggyback the "flags" field.
