[RFC PATCH 59/73] x86/pti: Force enabling KPTI for PVM guest

From: Lai Jiangshan
Date: Mon Feb 26 2024 - 09:58:58 EST


From: Lai Jiangshan <jiangshan.ljs@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

For PVM, it needs the guest to provides two different
page tables directly to prevent usermode access to the kernel
address space. So force enabling KPTI for PVM guest.
