Subject: [PATCH v3 0/5] KVM: nVMX: Mark APIC page dirty on VM-Exit

Extended version of Fred's patch to mark the APIC access page dirty on
VM-Exit (KVM already marks it dirty when it's unmapped).

v3:
 - Fix a benign memslots bug in __kvm_vcpu_map().
 - Mark vmcs12 pages dirty if and only if they're mapped (out-of-band).
 - Don't mark the APIC access page dirty when deliver nested posted IRQ.

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250910085156.1419090-1-griffoul@gmail.com

  KVM: nVMX: Mark APIC access page dirty when syncing vmcs12 pages

Sean Christopherson (4):
  KVM: Use vCPU specific memslots in __kvm_vcpu_map()
  KVM: x86: Mark vmcs12 pages as dirty if and only if they're mapped
  KVM: nVMX: Precisely mark vAPIC and PID maps dirty when delivering
    nested PI
  KVM: VMX: Move nested_mark_vmcs12_pages_dirty() to vmx.c, and rename
