[PATCH v5 7/7] kvm, mem-hotplug: Unpin and remove nested_vmx->apic_access_page.

From: Tang Chen
Date: Thu Sep 11 2014 - 01:37:50 EST


Just like we removed kvm_arch->apic_access_page, nested_vmx->apic_access_page
becomes useless for the same reason. This patch removes nested_vmx->apic_access_page,
and use gfn_to_page() to pin it in memory when we need it, and unpin it after then.
