[PATCH 27/50] KVM: Support assigning userspace memory to the guest

From: Avi Kivity
Date: Sun Dec 23 2007 - 09:59:31 EST

From: Izik Eidus <izike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Instead of having the kernel allocate memory to the guest, let userspace
allocate it and pass the address to the kernel.

This is required for s390 support, but also enables features like memory
sharing and using hugetlbfs backed memory.
