Add a new flag, KVM_GMEM_NO_DIRECT_MAP, to KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD, which causes KVM to remove the folios backing this guest_memfd from the direct map after preparation/population. This flag is only exposed on architectures that can set the direct map (the notable exception here being ARM64 if the direct map is not set up at 4K granularity), otherwise EOPNOTSUPP is returned. This patch also implements infrastructure for tracking (temporary) reinsertation of memory ranges into the direct map (more accurately: It allows recording that specific memory ranges deviate from the default direct map setup. Currently the default setup is always "direct map entries removed", but it is trivial to extend this with some "default_state_for_vm_type" mechanism to cover the pKVM usecase of memory starting off with directe map entries present). An xarray tracks this at page granularity, to be compatible with future hugepages usecases that might require subranges of hugetlb folios to have direct map entries restored. This xarray holds entries for each page that has a direct map state deviating from the default, and holes for all pages whose direct map state matches the default, the idea being that these "deviations" will be rare. kvm_gmem_folio_configure_direct_map applies the configuration stored in the xarray to a given folio, and is called for each new gmem folio after preparation/population. Storing direct map state in the gmem inode has two advantages: 1) We can track direct map state at page granularity even for huge folios (see also Ackerley's series on hugetlbfs support in guest_memfd [1]) 2) We can pre-configure the direct map state of not-yet-faulted in folios. This would for example be needed if a VMM is receiving a virtio buffer that the guest is requested it to fill. In this case, the pages backing the guest physical address range of the buffer might not be faulted in yet, and thus would be faulted when the VMM tries to write to them, and at this point we would need to ensure direct map entries are present) Note that this patch does not include operations for manipulating the direct map state xarray, or for changing direct map state of already existing folios. These routines are sketched out in the following patch, although are not needed in this initial patch series. When a gmem folio is freed, it is reinserted into the direct map (and failing this, marked as HWPOISON to avoid any other part of the kernel accidentally touching folios without complete direct map entries). The direct map configuration stored in the xarray is _not_ reset when the folio is freed (although this could be implemented by storing the reference to the xarray in the folio's private data instead of only the inode).
