Add a "never" option to the nx_huge_pages module param to allow userspace to do a one-way hard disabling of the mitigation, and don't create the per-VM recovery threads when the mitigation is hard disabled. Letting userspace pinky swear that userspace doesn't want to enable NX mitigation (without reloading KVM) allows certain use cases to avoid the latency problems associated with spawning a kthread for each VM. E.g. in FaaS use cases, the guest kernel is trusted and the host may create 100+ VMs per logical CPU, which can result in 100ms+ latencies when a burst of VMs is created.

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.
