mainlining shenanigans

When zapping a GFN range, pass 0 => ALL_ONES for the to-be-invalidated
range to effectively block all page faults while the zap is in-progress.
The invalidation helpers take a host virtual address, whereas zapping a
GFN obviously provides a guest physical address and with the wrong unit
of measurement (frame vs. byte).
Alternatively, KVM could walk all memslots to get the associated HVAs,
but thanks to SMM, that would require multiple lookups. And practically
speaking, kvm_zap_gfn_range() usage is quite rare and not a hot path,
e.g. MTRR and CR0.CD are almost guaranteed to be done only on vCPU0
during boot, and APICv inhibits are similarly infrequent operations.

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.
