Avoid the "writable" check in __gfn_to_hva_many(), which will always fail on read-only memslots due to gfn_to_hva() assuming writes. Functionally, this allows x86 to create large mappings for read-only memslots that are backed by HugeTLB mappings. Note, the changelog for commit05da45583d("KVM: MMU: large page support") states "If the largepage contains write-protected pages, a large pte is not used.", but "write-protected" refers to pages that are temporarily read-only, e.g. read-only memslots didn't even exist at the time.

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.
