When KVM has KVM_CAP_ARM_VM_IPA_SIZE we can test with &gt; 40-bit IPAs by
using the 'type' field of KVM_CREATE_VM.

<title>kvm: introduce manual dirty log reprotect</title>

<content type='text'>
There are two problems with KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG.  First, and less important,
it can take kvm-&gt;mmu_lock for an extended period of time.  Second, its user
can actually see many false positives in some cases.  The latter is due
to a benign race like this:

  1. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns a set of dirty pages and write protects
     them.
  2. The guest modifies the pages, causing them to be marked ditry.
  3. Userspace actually copies the pages.
  4. KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG returns those pages as dirty again, even though
     they were not written to since (3).

This is especially a problem for large guests, where the time between
(1) and (3) can be substantial.  This patch introduces a new
capability which, when enabled, makes KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG not
write-protect the pages it returns.  Instead, userspace has to
explicitly clear the dirty log bits just before using the content
of the page.  The new KVM_CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG ioctl can also operate on a
64-page granularity rather than requiring to sync a full memslot;
this way, the mmu_lock is taken for small amounts of time, and
only a small amount of time will pass between write protection
of pages and the sending of their content.

Let's add the 40 PA-bit versions of the VM modes, that AArch64
should have been using, so we can extend the dirty log test without
breaking things.

This code adds VM and VCPU setup code for the VM_MODE_FLAT48PG mode.
The VM_MODE_FLAT48PG isn't yet fully supportable, as it defines the
guest physical address limit as 52-bits, and KVM currently only
supports guests with up to 40-bit physical addresses (see
KVM_PHYS_SHIFT). VM_MODE_FLAT48PG will work fine, though, as long as
no &gt;= 40-bit physical addresses are used.
