From: Marc Zyngier maz@kernel.org Date: Thu, 21 Jan 2021 12:08:15 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: Forbid the use of tagged userspace addresses for memslots
The use of a tagged address could be pretty confusing for the whole memslot infrastructure as well as the MMU notifiers.
Forbid it altogether, as it never quite worked the first place.
