[PATCH 0/4] Add support for NoTagAccess memory attribute

["Aneesh Kumar K.V (Arm)" <aneesh.kumar@kernel.org>]

A VMM allows assigning different types of memory regions to the guest and not
all memory regions support storing allocation tags. Currently, the kernel
doesn't allow enabling the MTE feature in the guest if any of the assigned
memory regions don't allow MTE. This prevents the usage of MTE in the guest even
though the guest will never use these memory regions as allocation tagged
memory.

This patch series provides a way to enable MTE in such configs. Translations
from non-MTE-allowed memory regions are installed in stage-2 with NoTagAccess
memory attributes. Guest access of allocation tags with these memory regions
will result in a VM Exit.

Note: We could use the existing KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT for this. I chose to add a
new EXIT type because this is an arm64-specific exit type and I was not sure
whether KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT needs a NoTagAccess flag.
