Convert gfn_to_pfn() to use get_user_pages_fast(), which can do lockless pagetable lookups. Kernel compilation on 4-way guest is 3.7% faster on VMX.

Andrea, please review (especially mmu notifiers synchronization).

kvm_vm_fault, used by older userspace without CAP_USER_MEMORY, had gfn_to_page opencoded without VM_PFNMAP support (hopefully thats not an issue).

A compat version of get_user_pages_fast() can be found in mm/util.c.
