KVM: MMU: Decouple mmio from shadow page tables
Currently an mmio guest pte is encoded in the shadow pagetable as a not-present trapping pte, with the SHADOW_IO_MARK bit set. However nothing is ever done with this information, so maintaining it is a useless complication. This patch moves the check for mmio to before shadow ptes are instantiated, so the shadow code is never invoked for ptes that reference mmio. The code is simpler, and with future work, can be made to handle mmio concurrently. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
