Subject: [PATCH v2 00/10] KVM: x86: Interrupt-based mechanism for async_pf 'page present' notifications

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)

Vitaly Kuznetsov (10):
  Revert "KVM: async_pf: Fix #DF due to inject "Page not Present" and
    "Page Ready" exceptions simultaneously"
  KVM: x86: extend struct kvm_vcpu_pv_apf_data with token info
  KVM: rename kvm_arch_can_inject_async_page_present() to
    kvm_arch_can_dequeue_async_page_present()
  KVM: introduce kvm_read_guest_offset_cached()
  KVM: x86: interrupt based APF 'page ready' event delivery
  KVM: x86: acknowledgment mechanism for async pf page ready
    notifications
  KVM: x86: announce KVM_FEATURE_ASYNC_PF_INT
  KVM: x86: Switch KVM guest to using interrupts for page ready APF
    delivery
  KVM: x86: drop KVM_PV_REASON_PAGE_READY case from
    kvm_handle_page_fault()
  KVM: x86: deprecate KVM_ASYNC_PF_SEND_ALWAYS
