[PATCH v4 6/6] kvm, mem-hotplug: Do not pin apic access page in memory.

From: Tang Chen
Date: Wed Aug 27 2014 - 06:17:09 EST


gfn_to_page() will finally call hva_to_pfn() to get the pfn, and pin the page
in memory by calling GUP functions. This function unpins the page.

After this patch, acpi access page is able to be migrated.
