emulator_pio_in handles both the case where the data is pending in vcpu->arch.pio.count, and the case where I/O has to be done via either an in-kernel device or a userspace exit. For SEV-ES we would like to split these, to identify clearly the moment at which the sev_pio_data is consumed. To this end, create two different functions: __emulator_pio_in fills in vcpu->arch.pio.count, while complete_emulator_pio_in clears it and releases vcpu->arch.pio.data. Because this patch has to be backported, things are left a bit messy. kernel_pio() operates on vcpu->arch.pio, which leads to emulator_pio_in() having with two calls to complete_emulator_pio_in(). It will be fixed in the next release. While at it, remove the unused void* val argument of emulator_pio_in_out. The function currently hardcodes vcpu->arch.pio_data as the source/destination buffer, which sucks but will be fixed after the more severe SEV-ES buffer overflow. No functional change intended.

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.
