Main changes since v14 [1]:
* Removed KVM_SW_PROTECTED_VM dependency on KVM_GENERIC_GMEM_POPULATE
* Fixed some commit messages

Based on Linux 6.16-rc6

This patch series enables host userspace mapping of guest_memfd-backed
memory for non-CoCo VMs. This is required for several evolving KVM use
cases:

* Allows VMMs like Firecracker to run guests entirely backed by
  guest_memfd [2]. This provides a unified memory management model for
  both confidential and non-confidential guests, simplifying VMM design.

* Enhanced Security via direct map removal: When combined with Patrick's
  series for direct map removal [3], this provides additional hardening
  against Spectre-like transient execution attacks by eliminating the
  need for host kernel direct maps of guest memory.

* Lays the groundwork for *restricted* mmap() support for
  guest_memfd-backed memory on CoCo platforms [4] that permit in-place
  sharing of guest memory with the host.

Patch breakdown:

* Patches 1-7: Primarily infrastructure refactorings and renames to
  decouple guest_memfd from the concept of "private" memory.

* Patches 8-9: Add support for the host to map guest_memfd backed memory
  for non-CoCo VMs, which includes support for mmap() and fault
  handling. This is gated by a new configuration option, toggled by a
  new flag, and advertised to userspace by a new capability (introduced
  in patch 18).

* Patches 10-14: Implement x86 guest_memfd mmap support.

* Patches 15-18: Implement arm64 guest_memfd mmap support.

* Patch 19: Introduce the new capability to advertise this support and
  update the documentation.

* Patches 20-21: Update and expand selftests for guest_memfd to include
  mmap functionality and improve portability.

To test this patch series and boot a guest utilizing the new features,
please refer to the instructions in v8 of the series [5]. Note that
kvmtool for Linux 6.16 (available at [6]) is required, as the
KVM_CAP_GMEM_MMAP capability number has changed, additionally, drop the
--sw_protected kvmtool parameter to test with the default VM type.

Cheers,
