Re: [PATCH v5 3/4] KVM: arm64/mmu: use gfn_to_pfn_page

If kvm_set_page_dirty() is changed to be less dumb:

Oof, KVM's helpers are stupid.  Take a page, convert it to a pfn, then convert it
back to a page, just to mark it dirty or put a ref.  Can you fold the below 
(completely untested) patch in before the x86/arm64 patches?  That way this code
can be:

	if (page)
		kvm_release_page_accessed(page);

and x86 can do:

	if (fault->page)
		kvm_release_page_clean(page);

instead of open-coding put_page().

Subject: [PATCH] KVM: Clean up and enhance helpers for releasing pages/pfns

Tweak kvm_release_page_clean() and kvm_release_page_dirty() to avoid
pointlessly converting to a pfn and back to a page, and add an "accessed"
variant that will be used in a future arm64 patch.

No functional change intended.
