In preparation for nested virtualization where we are going to have more than a single VMID per VM, let's factor out the VMID data into a separate VMID data structure and change the VMID allocator to operate on this new structure instead of using a struct kvm. This also means that udate_vttbr now becomes update_vmid, and that the vttbr itself is generated on the fly based on the stage 2 page table base address and the vmid. We cache the physical address of the pgd when allocating the pgd to avoid doing the calculation on every entry to the guest and to avoid calling into potentially non-hyp-mapped code from hyp/EL2. If we wanted to merge the VMID allocator with the arm64 ASID allocator at some point in the future, it should actually become easier to do that after this patch. Note that to avoid mapping the kvm_vmid_bits variable into hyp, we simply forego the masking of the vmid value in kvm_get_vttbr and rely on update_vmid to always assign a valid vmid value (within the supported range).

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.
