Subject: [PATCH v2 07/22] KVM: x86: Store gpa as gpa_t, not unsigned long,
 when unprotecting for retry

Store the gpa used to unprotect the faulting gfn for retry as a gpa_t, not
an unsigned long.  This fixes a bug where 32-bit KVM would unprotect and
retry the wrong gfn if the gpa had bits 63:32!=0.  In practice, this bug
is functionally benign, as unprotecting the wrong gfn is purely a
performance issue (thanks to the anti-infinite-loop logic).  And of course,
almost no one runs 32-bit KVM these days.
