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.

+
+Options for the ipv6 module are supplied as parameters at load time.
+
+Module options may be given as command line arguments to the insmod
+or modprobe command, but are usually specified in either
+``/etc/modules.d/*.conf`` configuration files, or in a distro-specific
+configuration file.
+
+The available ipv6 module parameters are listed below. If a parameter
+is not specified the default value is used.
+
+The parameters are as follows:
+
+disable
+
+ Specifies whether to load the IPv6 module, but disable all
+ its functionality. This might be used when another module
+ has a dependency on the IPv6 module being loaded, but no
+ IPv6 addresses or operations are desired.
+
+ The possible values and their effects are:
+
+ 0
+ IPv6 is enabled.
+
+ This is the default value.
+
+ 1
+ IPv6 is disabled.
+
+ No IPv6 addresses will be added to interfaces, and
+ it will not be possible to open an IPv6 socket.
+
+ A reboot is required to enable IPv6.
+
+autoconf
+
+ Specifies whether to enable IPv6 address autoconfiguration
+ on all interfaces. This might be used when one does not wish
+ for addresses to be automatically generated from prefixes
+ received in Router Advertisements.
+
+ The possible values and their effects are:
+
+ 0
+ IPv6 address autoconfiguration is disabled on all interfaces.
+
+ Only the IPv6 loopback address (::1) and link-local addresses
+ will be added to interfaces.
+
+ 1
+ IPv6 address autoconfiguration is enabled on all interfaces.
+
+ This is the default value.
+
+disable_ipv6
+
+ Specifies whether to disable IPv6 on all interfaces.
+ This might be used when no IPv6 addresses are desired.
+
+ The possible values and their effects are:
+
+ 0
+ IPv6 is enabled on all interfaces.
+
+ This is the default value.
+
+ 1
+ IPv6 is disabled on all interfaces.
+
+ No IPv6 addresses will be added to interfaces.
