Wrap kvm_{gfn,hva}_range.pte in a union so that future notifier events can pass event specific information up and down the stack without needing to constantly expand and churn the APIs. Lockless aging of SPTEs will pass around a bitmap, and support for memory attributes will pass around the new attributes for the range. Add a "KVM_NO_ARG" placeholder to simplify handling events without an argument (creating a dummy union variable is midly annoying). Opportunstically drop explicit zero-initialization of the "pte" field, as omitting the field (now a union) has the same effect.

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.
