I figured we might want to use identifiers that are stable for the
lifetime of protected VMs. I wasn't sure using e.g. VMIDs would be a
better choice here as re-using them will cause a lot of pain for the
host stage 2 pgtable maintenance.

How about I invert it and call it 'stage2_pte_needs_update()' or so?

That'll confuse kvm_block_mapping_supported() and friends I think, at
least in their current form. If you _really_ don't like this, maybe we
could have an extra 'flags' field in stage2_map_data?

Yep that should work.

We're creating invalid mappings which by definition don't map to
physical pages (the annotation is purely in the _IPA_ space), so yeah
the best thing to do was to take phys 'out of the way'. Setting it to
e.g. @addr would be quite confusing IMO -- imagine if we ever decide to
annotate the stage 2 of guests one day.

And as you noticed, weird values will also happen to confuse
kvm_block_mapping_supported(), and/or to cause range issues, so 0 seemed
like a reasonable choice.

I'll stick a comment.

I couldn't find a good reason to restrict it, as that wouldn't change
the implementation much anyway. Also, if we added the right CMOs, we
could probably remove the unmap walker and re-express it in terms of
set_owner(0) ... But I suppose that is for later :-)

Thanks,
Quentin
