Subject: [RFC KVM 07/27] KVM: x86: Switch to host address space when may access sensitive data

From: Liran Alon <liran.alon@...cle.com>

Before this patch, we exited from KVM isolated address space to
host address space as soon as we exit guest.

Change code such that most of KVM #VMExit handlers will run in KVM
isolated address space and switch back to host address space
only before accessing sensitive data. Sensitive data is defined
as either host data or other VM data.

Currently, we switch from kvm_mm to host_mm on the following scenarios:
1) When handling guest page-faults:
   As this will access SPTs which contains host PFNs.
2) On schedule-out of vCPU thread
3) On write to guest virtual memory
   (kvm_write_guest_virt_system() can pull in tons of pages)
4) On return to userspace (e.g. QEMU)
5) On prelog of IRQ handlers
