KVM: use separate generations for each address space
This will make it easier to support multiple address spaces in kvm_gfn_to_hva_cache_init. Instead of having to check the address space id, we can keep on checking just the generation number. Reviewed-by: Radim Krčmář <rkrcmar@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
