[v3,1/6] kvm: Add gfn_to_page_no_pin() to translate gfn to page without pinning.

Commit Message

tangchen July 23, 2014, 7:42 p.m. UTC

gfn_to_page() will finally call hva_to_pfn() to get the pfn, and pin the page
in memory by calling GUP functions. This function unpins the page.

Will be used by the followed patches.
