The added pointer will be used by the /proc/PID/idle_bitmap code to quickly identify QEMU task and walk EPT/NPT accordingly. For virtual machines, the A bits will be set in guest page tables and EPT/NPT, rather than the QEMU task page table. This costs 8 bytes in task_struct which could be wasteful for the majority normal tasks. The alternative is to add a flag only, and let it find the corresponding VM in kvm vm_list.
