[PATCH v5 7/7] KVM: x86/mmu: Lazily allocate memslot rmaps

From: Ben Gardon
Date: Tue May 18 2021 - 13:35:03 EST


If the TDP MMU is in use, wait to allocate the rmaps until the shadow
MMU is actually used. (i.e. a nested VM is launched.) This saves memory
equal to 0.2% of guest memory in cases where the TDP MMU is used and
there are no nested guests involved.
