Move halt-polling.rst into the common KVM documentation directory and
out of the x86-specific directory. Halt-polling is a common feature and
the existing documentation is already written as such.

Currently the OS fails the PSP initialization when the file specified at
'init_ex_path' does not exist or has invalid content. However the SEV
spec just requires users to allocate 32KB of 0xFF in the file, which can
be taken care of by the OS easily.
To improve the robustness during the PSP init, leverage the retry
mechanism and continue the init process:
Before the first INIT_EX call, if the content is invalid or missing,
continue the process by feeding those contents into PSP instead of
aborting. PSP will then override it with 32KB 0xFF and return
SEV_RET_SECURE_DATA_INVALID status code. In the second INIT_EX call,
this 32KB 0xFF content will then be fed and PSP will write the valid
data to the file.
In order to do this, sev_read_init_ex_file should only be called once
for the first INIT_EX call. Calling it again for the second INIT_EX call
will cause the invalid file content overwriting the valid 32KB 0xFF data
provided by PSP in the first INIT_EX call.

When shadowing 5-level NPT for 4-level NPT L1 guest, the root_sp is
allocated with role.level = 5 and the guest pagetable's root gfn.
And root_sp->spt[0] is also allocated with the same gfn and the same
role except role.level = 4. Luckily that they are different shadow
pages, but only root_sp->spt[0] is the real translation of the guest
pagetable.
Here comes a problem:
If the guest switches from gCR4_LA57=0 to gCR4_LA57=1 (or vice verse)
and uses the same gfn as the root page for nested NPT before and after
switching gCR4_LA57. The host (hCR4_LA57=1) might use the same root_sp
for the guest even the guest switches gCR4_LA57. The guest will see
unexpected page mapped and L2 may exploit the bug and hurt L1. It is
lucky that the problem can't hurt L0.
And three special cases need to be handled:
The root_sp should be like role.direct=1 sometimes: its contents are
not backed by gptes, root_sp->gfns is meaningless. (For a normal high
level sp in shadow paging, sp->gfns is often unused and kept zero, but
it could be relevant and meaningful if sp->gfns is used because they
are backed by concrete gptes.)
For such root_sp in the case, root_sp is just a portal to contribute
root_sp->spt[0], and root_sp->gfns should not be used and
root_sp->spt[0] should not be dropped if gpte[0] of the guest root
pagetable is changed.
Such root_sp should not be accounted too.
So add role.passthrough to distinguish the shadow pages in the hash
when gCR4_LA57 is toggled and fix above special cases by using it in
kvm_mmu_page_{get|set}_gfn() and sp_has_gptes().

ARM already has an arm/ subdirectory, but s390 and x86 do not even though
they have a relatively large number of files specific to them. Create
new directories in Documentation/virt/kvm for these two architectures
as well.
While at it, group the API documentation and the developer documentation
in the table of contents.
