Please rename this to KVM_SUBPAGE_MAX_PAGES

This can be

u32 npages;
u32 flags;

Check that the flags are 0, and fail the ioctl if they aren't. This
will make it easy to extend the API in the future.

> + __u32 access_map[SUBPAGE_MAX_BITMAP]; /* sub-page write-access bitmap array */

Please make this access_map[0], since the number of entries actually
depends on npages.

Likewise, kvm_arch_vm_ioctl should read the header first, then allocate
memory for the access_map and read into it. It's probably simpler if
you make kvm_vm_ioctl_get_subpages/kvm_vm_ioctl_set_subpages take
parameters like

int kvm_vm_ioctl_get_subpages(struct kvm *kvm, u64 gfn, u32 npages,
u32 *access_map);
int kvm_vm_ioctl_set_subpages(struct kvm *kvm, u64 gfn, u32 npages,
u32 *access_map);

Thanks,

Paolo
