[RFC PATCH 11/18] KVM: arm64: Add vCPU memory fault fast-path for Userfault

From: James Houghton
Date: Wed Jul 10 2024 - 19:45:43 EST


Make this optimization for the same reason we make it for x86: because
it necessary for sufficient post-copy performance when scaling up to
hundreds of cores (even though KVM Userfault today doesn't scale very
well).
