Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 25/50] samples/kvm: Remove MMAP_CAPABLE flag from sample provider
Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2026 16:27:57 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261022-gmem-alternative-providers-v2-25-5dd1dc6c660a@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261022-gmem-alternative-providers-v2-0-5dd1dc6c660a@google.com>

From: Ackerley Tng <ackerleytng@google.com>

Remove the MMAP_CAPABLE flag and associated write-back PAT mapping logic
from the sample memory provider.

This is removed to focus on the core concept of providing memory.

Signed-off-by: Ackerley Tng <ackerleytng@google.com>
