[PATCH v4 12/13] KVM: selftests / xen: don't explicitly set the vcpu_info address

From: Paul Durrant
Date: Tue Sep 19 2023 - 10:00:21 EST


From: Paul Durrant <pdurrant@xxxxxxxxxx>

If the vCPU id is set and the shared_info is mapped using HVA then we can
infer that KVM has the ability to use a default vcpu_info mapping. Hence
we can stop setting the address of the vcpu_info structure.

NOTE: We still explicitly set vcpu_info half way through testing (to point
at exactly the place it already is) to make sure that setting the
attribute does not fail.

v3:
- Add a guest sync point to set the vcpu_info attribute

v2:
- New in this version.
