KVM: SEV-ES: go over the sev_pio_data buffer in multiple passes if needed
 
The PIO scratch buffer is larger than a single page, and therefore
it is not possible to copy it in a single step to vcpu->arch/pio_data.
Bound each call to emulator_pio_in/out to a single page; keep
track of how many I/O operations are left in vcpu->arch.sev_pio_count,
so that the operation can be restarted in the complete_userspace_io
callback.

For OUT, this means that the previous kvm_sev_es_outs implementation
becomes an iterator of the loop, and we can consume the sev_pio_data
buffer before leaving to userspace.

For IN, instead, consuming the buffer and decreasing sev_pio_count
is always done in the complete_userspace_io callback, because that
is when the memcpy is done into sev_pio_data.

README 
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.
