KVM: SEV: Do cache maintenance on the source VM during intra-host migrationgrafted
Manually perform cache maintenance on the source VM during intra-host migration to ensure no stale data is left in CPU caches after the VM is destroyed. Because the source VM is "converted" to a non-SEV VM, KVM's memory reclaim flows won't trigger cache maintenance, e.g. when all guest memory is reclaimed in response to detaching from the mmu_notifier. Note, relying on the destination VM to do cache maintenance isn't an option as KVM doesn't require identical guest memory configurations, i.e. the source VM may have access to memory that the destination VM does not. Enforcing equivalent memory configurations is infeasible, as it would require a *deep* comparison of memslots, e.g. to verify that not only are the memslot identical, but what the memslots point at is also identical.

+What: /sys/bus/amba/devices/.../driver_override
+Date: September 2014
+Contact: Antonios Motakis <a.motakis@virtualopensystems.com>
+Description:
+ This file allows the driver for a device to be specified which
+ will override standard OF, ACPI, ID table, and name matching.
+ When specified, only a driver with a name matching the value
+ written to driver_override will have an opportunity to bind to
+ the device. The override is specified by writing a string to the
+ driver_override file (echo vfio-amba > driver_override) and may
+ be cleared with an empty string (echo > driver_override).
+ This returns the device to standard matching rules binding.
+ Writing to driver_override does not automatically unbind the
+ device from its current driver or make any attempt to
+ automatically load the specified driver. If no driver with a
+ matching name is currently loaded in the kernel, the device will
+ not bind to any driver. This also allows devices to opt-out of
+ driver binding using a driver_override name such as "none".
+ Only a single driver may be specified in the override, there is
+ no support for parsing delimiters.
