Subject: [PATCH 1/3] KVM: x86/mmu: Dynamically allocate shadow MMU's hashed
 page list

Dynamically allocate the (massive) array of hashed lists used to track
shadow pages, as the array itself is 32KiB, i.e. is an order-3 allocation
all on its own, and is *exactly* an order-3 allocation.  Dynamically
allocating the array will allow allocating "struct kvm" using regular
kmalloc(), and will also allow deferring allocation of the array until
it's actually needed, i.e. until the first shadow root is allocated.
