Merge branch 'guest-memfd-mmap' into HEAD
Add support for host userspace mapping of guest_memfd-backed memory for VM types that do NOT use support KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_PRIVATE (which isn't precisely the same thing as CoCo VMs, since x86's SEV-MEM and SEV-ES have no way to detect private vs. shared). mmap() support paves the way for several evolving KVM use cases: * Allows VMMs like Firecracker to run guests entirely backed by guest_memfd [1]. 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 [2], 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 [3] that permit in-place sharing of guest memory with the host.
