Introduce a macro, vcpu_arch_put_guest(), for "putting" values to memory
from guest code in "interesting" situations, e.g. when writing memory that
is being dirty logged. Structure the macro so that arch code can provide
a custom implementation, e.g. x86 will use the macro to force emulation of
the access.
Use the helper in dirty_log_test, which is of particular interest (see
above), and in xen_shinfo_test, which isn't all that interesting, but
provides a second usage of the macro with a different size operand
(uint8_t versus uint64_t), i.e. to help verify that the macro works for
more than just 64-bit values.
Use "put" as the verb to align with the kernel's {get,put}_user()
terminology.

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 reStructuredText 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.
