Paolo Bonzini e9a2bba476 KVM Xen and pfncache changes for 6.9:
- Rip out the half-baked support for using gfn_to_pfn caches to manage pages
    that are "mapped" into guests via physical addresses.
 
  - Add support for using gfn_to_pfn caches with only a host virtual address,
    i.e. to bypass the "gfn" stage of the cache.  The primary use case is
    overlay pages, where the guest may change the gfn used to reference the
    overlay page, but the backing hva+pfn remains the same.
 
  - Add an ioctl() to allow mapping Xen's shared_info page using an hva instead
    of a gpa, so that userspace doesn't need to reconfigure and invalidate the
    cache/mapping if the guest changes the gpa (but userspace keeps the resolved
    hva the same).
 
  - When possible, use a single host TSC value when computing the deadline for
    Xen timers in order to improve the accuracy of the timer emulation.
 
  - Inject pending upcall events when the vCPU software-enables its APIC to fix
    a bug where an upcall can be lost (and to follow Xen's behavior).
 
  - Fall back to the slow path instead of warning if "fast" IRQ delivery of Xen
    events fails, e.g. if the guest has aliased xAPIC IDs.
 
  - Extend gfn_to_pfn_cache's mutex to cover (de)activation (in addition to
    refresh), and drop a now-redundant acquisition of xen_lock (that was
    protecting the shared_info cache) to fix a deadlock due to recursively
    acquiring xen_lock.
