Changbin Du e502a2af4c drm/i915/gvt: Provide generic page_track infrastructure for write-protected page
This patch provide generic page_track infrastructure for write-protected
guest page. The old page_track logic gets rewrote and now stays in a new
standalone page_track.c. This page track infrastructure can be both used
by vGUC and GTT shadowing.

The important change is that it uses radix tree instead of hash table.
We don't have a predictable number of pages that will be tracked.

Here is some performance data (duration in us) of looking up a element:
Before: (aka. intel_vgpu_find_tracked_page)
 0.091 0.089 0.090 ... 0.093 0.091 0.087 ... 0.292 0.285 0.292 0.291
After: (aka. intel_vgpu_find_page_track)
 0.104 0.105 0.100 0.102 0.102 0.100 ... 0.101 0.101 0.105 0.105

The hash table has good performance at beginning, but turns bad with
more pages being tracked even no 3D applications are running. As
expected, radix tree has stable duration and very quick.

The overall benchmark (tested with Heaven Benchmark) marginally improved
since this is not the bottleneck. What we benefit more from this change
is scalability.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
