[PATCH v2 26/32] KVM: SVM: Store MSRPM pointer as "void *" instead of "u32 *"

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Tue Jun 10 2025 - 19:04:34 EST


Store KVM's MSRPM pointers as "void *" instead of "u32 *" to guard against
directly accessing the bitmaps outside of code that is explicitly written
to access the bitmaps with a specific type.

Opportunistically use svm_vcpu_free_msrpm() in svm_vcpu_free() instead of
open coding an equivalent.
