Paolo Bonzini c59de14133 KVM x86 MMU changes for 6.13
- Cleanup KVM's handling of Accessed and Dirty bits to dedup code, improve
    documentation, harden against unexpected changes, and to simplify
    A/D-disabled MMUs by using the hardware-defined A/D bits to track if a
    PFN is Accessed and/or Dirty.
 
  - Elide TLB flushes when aging SPTEs, as has been done in x86's primary
    MMU for over 10 years.
 
  - Batch TLB flushes when zapping collapsible TDP MMU SPTEs, i.e. when
    dirty logging is toggled off, which reduces the time it takes to disable
    dirty logging by ~3x.
 
  - Recover huge pages in-place in the TDP MMU instead of zapping the SP
    and waiting until the page is re-accessed to create a huge mapping.
    Proactively installing huge pages can reduce vCPU jitter in extreme
    scenarios.
 
  - Remove support for (poorly) reclaiming page tables in shadow MMUs via
    the primary MMU's shrinker interface.
