Previously to read/write a GPA, we at first try to pin the GFN it belongs
to, then translate the pinned PFN to a kernel HVA, then read/write it.
This is however not necessary. A GFN should be pinned IFF it would be
accessed by peripheral devices (DMA), not by CPU. This patch changes
the read/write method to KVM API, which will leverage userspace HVA
and copy_{from|to}_usr instead.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
