[Xen-devel] [PATCH V10 1/5] x86/hvm: pkeys, disable pkeys for guests in non-paging mode



This patch disables pkeys for guest in non-paging mode, However XEN always uses
paging mode to emulate guest non-paging mode, To emulate this behavior, pkeys
needs to be manually disabled when guest switches to non-paging mode.
