Subject[PATCH v2 00/10] KVM: x86: Interrupt-based mechanism for async_pf 'page present' notifications
Date
Concerns were expressed around (ab)using #PF for KVM's async_pf mechanism,
it seems that re-using #PF exception for a PV mechanism wasn't a great
idea after all. The Grand Plan is to switch to using e.g. #VE for 'page
not present' events and normal APIC interrupts for 'page ready' events.
This series does the later.

Changes since v1:
- struct kvm_vcpu_pv_apf_data's fields renamed to 'flags' and 'token',
comments added [Vivek Goyal]
- 'type1/2' names for APF events dropped from everywhere [Vivek Goyal]
- kvm_arch_can_inject_async_page_present() renamed to
kvm_arch_can_dequeue_async_page_present [Vivek Goyal]
- 'KVM: x86: deprecate KVM_ASYNC_PF_SEND_ALWAYS' patch added.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/20200511164752.2158645-1-vkuznets@redhat.com/
QEMU patches for testing: https://github.com/vittyvk/qemu.git (async_pf2_v2 branch)
