Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

Rather than passing the vm type from the top level to the end of vm creation, let's simply keep that as an internal of kvm_vm struct and decide the type in _vm_create(). Several reasons for doing this: - The vm type is only decided by physical address width and currently only used in aarch64, so we've got enough information as long as we're passing vm_guest_mode into _vm_create(), - This removes a loop dependency between the vm->type and creation of vms. That's why now we need to parse vm_guest_mode twice sometimes, once in run_test() and then again in _vm_create(). The follow up patches will move on to clean up that as well so we can have a single place to decide guest machine types and so. Note that this patch will slightly change the behavior of aarch64 tests in that previously most vm_create() callers will directly pass in type==0 into _vm_create() but now the type will depend on vm_guest_mode, however it shouldn't affect any user because all vm_create() users of aarch64 will be using VM_MODE_DEFAULT guest mode (which is VM_MODE_P40V48_4K) so at last type will still be zero.
