Avoid taking mmu_lock for .invalidate_range_{start,end}() notifications
that are unrelated to KVM. This is possible now that memslot updates are
blocked from range_start() to range_end(); that ensures that lock elision
happens in both or none, and therefore that mmu_notifier_count updates
(which must occur while holding mmu_lock for write) are always paired
across start->end.
Based on patches originally written by Ben Gardon.

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.
