At the moment, demand_paging_test does not support profiling/testing
multiple vCPU threads concurrently faulting on a single uffd because
(a) "-u" (run test in userfaultfd mode) creates a uffd for each vCPU's
region, so that each uffd services a single vCPU thread.
(b) "-u -o" (userfaultfd mode + overlapped vCPU memory accesses)
simply doesn't work: the test tries to register the same memory
to multiple uffds, causing an error.
Add support for many vcpus per uffd by
(1) Keeping "-u" behavior unchanged.
(2) Making "-u -a" create a single uffd for all of guest memory.
(3) Making "-u -o" implicitly pass "-a", solving the problem in (b).
In cases (2) and (3) all vCPU threads fault on a single uffd.
With potentially multiple vCPUs per UFFD, it makes sense to allow
configuring the number of reader threads per UFFD as well: add the "-r"
flag to do so.

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 reStructuredText 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.
