[v3,7/9] x86/np2m: implement sharing of np2m between vCPUs

Commit Message

Sergey Dyasli Oct. 3, 2017, 3:21 p.m. UTC

At the moment, nested p2ms are not shared between vcpus even if they
share the same base pointer.

Modify p2m_get_nestedp2m() to allow sharing a np2m between multiple
vcpus with the same np2m_base (L1 np2m_base value in VMCx12).

If the current np2m doesn't match the current base pointer, first look
for another nested p2m in the same domain with the same base pointer,
before reclaiming one from the LRU.
