Avoid allocating the gfn_track arrays if nothing needs them. If there are no external to KVM users of the API (i.e. no GVT-g), then page tracking is only needed for shadow page tables. This means that when tdp is enabled and there are no external users, then the gfn_track arrays can be lazily allocated when the shadow MMU is actually used. This avoid allocations equal to .05% of guest memory when nested virtualization is not used, if the kernel is compiled without GVT-g.

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 Restructured Text 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.
