Merge tag 'kvm_mips_4.11_1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jhogan/kvm-mips into HEAD

KVM: MIPS: GVA/GPA page tables, dirty logging, SYNC_MMU etc

Numerous MIPS KVM fixes, improvements, and features for 4.11, many of
which continue to pave the way for VZ support, the most interesting of
which are:

 - Add GVA->HPA page tables for T&E, to cache GVA mappings.
 - Generate fast-path TLB refill exception handler which loads host TLB
   entries from GVA page table, avoiding repeated guest memory
   translation and guest TLB lookups.
 - Use uaccess macros when T&E needs to access guest memory, which with
   GVA page tables and the Linux TLB refill handler improves robustness
   against TLB faults and fixes EVA hosts.
 - Use BadInstr/BadInstrP registers when available to obtain instruction
   encodings after a synchronous trap.
 - Add GPA->HPA page tables to replace the inflexible linear array,
   allowing for multiple sparsely arranged memory regions.
 - Properly implement dirty page logging.
 - Add KVM_CAP_SYNC_MMU support so that changes in GPA mappings become
   effective in guests even if they are already running, allowing for
   copy-on-write, KSM, idle page tracking, swapping, and guest memory
   ballooning.
 - Add KVM_CAP_READONLY_MEM support, so writes to specified memory
   regions are treated as MMIO.
 - Implement proper CP0_EBase support in T&E.
 - Expose a few more missing CP0 registers to userland.
 - Add KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS and KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS support, and allow up to 8
   VCPUs to be created in a VM.
 - Various cleanups and dropping of dead and duplicated code.
