[PATCH v3 00/31] KVM: x86: pass arguments on the page fault path via struct kvm_page_fault

From: Paolo Bonzini

The current kvm page fault handlers passes around many arguments to the
functions. To simplify those arguments and local variables, introduce
a data structure, struct kvm_page_fault, to hold those arguments and
variables. struct kvm_page_fault is allocated on stack on the caller
of kvm fault handler, kvm_mmu_do_page_fault(), and passed around.

Later in the series, my patches are interleaved with David's work to
add the memory slot to the struct and avoid repeated lookups. Along the
way you will find some cleanups of functions with a ludicrous number of
arguments, so that they use struct kvm_page_fault as much as possible
or at least receive related information from a single argument. make_spte
in particular goes from 11 to 10 arguments (yeah I know) despite gaining
two for kvm_mmu_page and kvm_memory_slot.

This can be sometimes a bit debatable (for example struct kvm_mmu_page
is used a little more on the TDP MMU paths), but overall I think the
result is an improvement. For example the SET_SPTE_* constants go
away, and they absolutely didn't belong in the TDP MMU. But if you
disagree with some of the changes, please speak up loudly!

Testing: survives kvm-unit-tests on Intel with all of ept=0, ept=1
tdp_mmu=0, ept=1. Will do more before committing to it in kvm/next of
course.
