Convert a plethora of parameters and variables in the MMU and page fault flows from type gva_t to gpa_t to properly handle TDP on 32-bit KVM. Thanks to PSE and PAE paging, 32-bit kernels can access 64-bit physical addresses. When TDP is enabled, the fault address is a guest physical address and thus can be a 64-bit value, even when both KVM and its guest are using 32-bit virtual addressing, e.g. VMX's VMCS.GUEST_PHYSICAL is a 64-bit field, not a natural width field. Using a gva_t for the fault address means KVM will incorrectly drop the upper 32-bits of the GPA. Ditto for gva_to_gpa() when it is used to translate L2 GPAs to L1 GPAs. Opportunistically rename variables and parameters to better reflect the dual address modes, e.g. use "cr2_or_gpa" for fault addresses and plain "addr" instead of "vaddr" when the address may be either a GVA or an L2 GPA. Similarly, use "gpa" in the nonpaging_page_fault() flows to avoid a confusing "gpa_t gva" declaration; this also sets the stage for a future patch to combing nonpaging_page_fault() and tdp_page_fault() with minimal churn. Sprinkle in a few comments to document flows where an address is known to be a GVA and thus can be safely truncated to a 32-bit value. Add WARNs in kvm_handle_page_fault() and FNAME(gva_to_gpa_nested)() to help document such cases and detect bugs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
