Hi David,

Return a struct kvm_pfn_page containing both a pfn and an optional
struct page from the gfn_to_pfn family of functions. This differentiates
the gup and follow_fault_pfn cases, which allows callers that only need
a pfn to avoid touching the page struct in the latter case. For callers
that need a struct page, introduce a helper function that unwraps a
struct kvm_pfn_page into a struct page. This helper makes the call to
kvm_get_pfn which had previously been in hva_to_pfn_remapped.

For now, wrap all calls to gfn_to_pfn functions in the new helper
function. Callers which don't need the page struct will be updated in
follow-up patches.

I'd really like to see a tiny bit of documentation explaining that
calls to kvm_pfn_page_unwrap() are not idempotent.

Otherwise, looks good to me.

Thanks,
