Subject: [PATCH 1/2] KVM: X86: remove read buffer for mmio read

After commit f78146b0f9230765c6315b2e14f56112513389ad:

 KVM: Fix page-crossing MMIO

    MMIO that are split across a page boundary are currently broken - the
    code does not expect to be aborted by the exit to userspace for the
    first MMIO fragment.

    This patch fixes the problem by generalizing the current code for handling
    16-byte MMIOs to handle a number of "fragments", and changes the MMIO
    code to create those fragments.

    Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@...hat.com>
    Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@...hat.com>

Multiple MMIO reads can be merged into mmio_fragments, the read buffer is not
needed anymore
