Pull virtio-mem update from David Hildenbrand:
"Support the VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE feature in virtio-mem,
now that "accidential" access to logically unplugged memory inside
added Linux memory blocks is no longer possible, because we:
- Removed /dev/kmem in commit bbcd53c96071 ("drivers/char: remove
/dev/kmem for good")
- Disallowed access to virtio-mem device memory via /dev/mem in
commit 2128f4e21aa ("virtio-mem: disallow mapping virtio-mem memory
via /dev/mem")
- Sanitized access to virtio-mem device memory via /proc/kcore in
commit 0daa322b8ff9 ("fs/proc/kcore: don't read offline sections,
logically offline pages and hwpoisoned pages")
- Sanitized access to virtio-mem device memory via /proc/vmcore in
commit ce2814622e84 ("virtio-mem: kdump mode to sanitize
/proc/vmcore access")
The new VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE feature that will be
required by some hypervisors implementing virtio-mem in the near
future, so let's support it now that we safely can"
