No, this is purely a page mapping so far. On my system, the HYP text is
just over 4 pages big (4k pages), so the incentive is pretty low, unless
we can demonstrate some big gains due to the reduced TLB impact.

Same thing. Looks like there is some potential simplification here.

Actually, we never unmap anything from HYP. Once a structure (kvm, vcpu)
is mapped there, it stays forever, whatever happens to the VM (that's
because we'd otherwise have to refcount the number of objects in a page,
and I'm lazy...).

Hope you have your answer above... ;-)

Thanks,
