Subject: [PATCH v15 040/115] KVM: x86/mmu: Assume guest MMIOs are shared

From: Chao Gao <chao.gao@...el.com>

Guest TD doesn't necessarily invoke MAP_GPA to convert the virtual MMIO
range to shared before accessing it.  When TD tries to access the virtual
device's MMIO as shared, an EPT violation is raised first.
kvm_mem_is_private() checks whether the GFN is shared or private.  If
MAP_GPA is not called for the GPA, KVM thinks the GPA is private and
refuses shared access, and doesn't set up shared EPT entry.  The guest
can't make progress.

Instead of requiring the guest to invoke MAP_GPA for regions of virtual
MMIOs assume regions of virtual MMIOs are shared in KVM as well (i.e., GPAs
either have no kvm_memory_slot or are backed by host MMIOs). So that guests
can access those MMIO regions.
