the bitmap that is passed in struct kvm_clear_dirty_log's dirty_bitmap
field. Bit 0 of the bitmap corresponds to page "first_page" in the
memory slot, and num_pages is the size in bits of the input bitmap.

+first_page must be a multiple of 64; num_pages must also be a multiple of
+64 unless first_page + num_pages is the size of the memory slot. For each
+bit that is set in the input bitmap, the corresponding page is marked "clean"
in KVM's dirty bitmap, and dirty tracking is re-enabled for that page
(for example via write-protection, or by clearing the dirty bit in
a page table entry).
