Now that we can't access guest memory anymore, we have a dedicated satellite block that's a bounce buffer for instruction data. We re-use the memop interface to copy the instruction data to / from userspace. This lets us re-use a lot of QEMU code which used that interface to make logical guest memory accesses which are not possible anymore in protected mode anyway.

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.
