[Qemu-devel] [RFC] ARM/ARM64: KVM: Implement KVM_FLUSH_DCACHE_GPA ioctl

[Jérémy Fanguède]

To maintain cache coherency on ARM, we may need a mechanism to flush
the data cache.

This patch implements KVM_FLUSH_DCACHE_GPA vm ioctl which flushes the
data cache at a specified address range. The input argument is a
struct kvm_mem_addr containing the guest physical address and the
length.
