Ahmed managed to crash the Host in release_pgd(), which cannot be a Guest
bug, and indeed it wasn't.
The bug was that handing a 0 as the address of the toplevel page table
being manipulated can cause the lookup code in find_pgdir() to return
an uninitialized cache entry (we shadow up to 4 top level page tables
for each Guest).
Commit 37cc8d7f963ba2deec29c9b68716944516a3244f introduced this
behaviour in the Guest, uncovering the bug.
The patch which he submitted (which removed the /4 from the index
calculation) simply ensured that these high-indexed entries hit the
early exit path of guest_set_pmd(). But you get lots of segfaults in
guest userspace as the PMDs aren't being updated.

Beginning from commit 4138cc3418f5, ioremap_nocache() sets the _PAGE_PWT
flag.
Lguest doesn't accept a guest pte with a _PWT flag and reports a "bad
page table entry" in that case.
Accept guest _PAGE_PWT page table entries.

x86_64 don't expose the intermediate representation with one underline,
_PAGE_KERNEL, just the double-underlined one.
Use it, to get a common ground between 32 and 64-bit

We can save some lines of code by getting rid of
*lg = cpu... lines of code spread everywhere by now.

gpte_addr() does not depend on any guest information. So we wipe out
the lg parameter from it completely.

this patch makes the pgdir management per-vcpu. The pgdirs pool
is still guest-wide (although it'll probably need to grow when we
are really executing more vcpus), but the pgdidx index is gone,
since it makes no sense anymore. Instead, we use a per-vcpu
index.

lguest struct have room for some fields, namely, cr2, ts, esp1
and ss1, that are not really guest-wide, but rather, vcpu-wide.
This patch puts it in the vcpu struct

This is the most obvious per-vcpu field: registers.
So this patch moves it from struct lguest to struct vcpu,
and patch the places in which they are used, accordingly

The switcher needs to be mapped per-vcpu, because different vcpus
will potentially have different page tables (they don't have to,
because threads will share the same).
So our first step is the make the function receive a vcpu struct

Jes complains that page table code still uses lgread_u32 even though
it now uses general kernel pte types. The best thing to do is to
generalize lgread_u32 and lgwrite_u32.
This means we lose the efficiency of getuser(). We could potentially
regain it if we used __copy_from_user instead of copy_from_user, but
I'm not certain that our range check is equivalent to access_ok() on
all platforms.

1) This allows us to get alot closer to booting bzImages.
2) It means we don't have to know page_offset.
3) The Guest needs to modify the boot pagetables to create the
PAGE_OFFSET mapping before jumping to C code.
4) guest_pa() walks the page tables rather than using page_offset.
5) We don't use page_offset to figure out whether to emulate: it was
always kinda quesationable, and won't work for instructions done
before remapping (bzImage unpacking in particular).
6) We still want the kernel address for tlb flushing: have the initial
hypercall give us that, too.

In order to avoid problematic special linking of the Launcher, we give
the Host an offset: this means we can use any memory region in the
Launcher as Guest memory rather than insisting on mmap() at 0.
The result is quite pleasing: a number of casts are replaced with
simple additions.
