The create_hyp_mappings() function can currently be called at any point in time. However, its behaviour in protected mode changes widely depending on when it is being called. Prior to KVM init, it is used to create the temporary page-table used to bring-up the hypervisor, and later on it is transparently turned into a 'share' hypercall when the kernel has lost control over the hypervisor stage-1. In order to prepare the ground for also unsharing pages with the hypervisor during guest teardown, introduce a kvm_share_hyp() function to make it clear in which places a share hypercall should be expected, as we will soon need a matching unshare hypercall in all those places.

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.
