KVM: MMU: Don't assume struct page for x86
This patch introduces a gfn_to_pfn() function and corresponding functions like kvm_release_pfn_dirty(). Using these new functions, we can modify the x86 MMU to no longer assume that it can always get a struct page for any given gfn. We don't want to eliminate gfn_to_page() entirely because a number of places assume they can do gfn_to_page() and then kmap() the results. When we support IO memory, gfn_to_page() will fail for IO pages although gfn_to_pfn() will succeed. This does not implement support for avoiding reference counting for reserved RAM or for IO memory. However, it should make those things pretty straight forward. Since we're only introducing new common symbols, I don't think it will break the non-x86 architectures but I haven't tested those. I've tested Intel, AMD, NPT, and hugetlbfs with Windows and Linux guests.
