[PATCH v4 3/4] RISC-V: KVM: add KVM_CAP_RISCV_SET_HGATP_MODE

From: Fangyu Yu <fangyu.yu at linux.alibaba.com>
Add a VM capability that allows userspace to select the G-stage page table
format by setting HGATP.MODE on a per-VM basis.
Userspace enables the capability via KVM_ENABLE_CAP, passing the requested
HGATP.MODE in args[0]. The request is rejected with -EINVAL if the mode is
not supported by the host, and with -EBUSY if the VM has already been
committed (e.g. vCPUs have been created or any memslot is populated).
KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION(KVM_CAP_RISCV_SET_HGATP_MODE) returns a bitmask of the
HGATP.MODE formats supported by the host.

+7.47 KVM_CAP_RISCV_SET_HGATP_MODE
+---------------------------------
+
+:Architectures: riscv
+:Type: VM
+:Parameters: args[0] contains the requested HGATP mode
+:Returns:
+ - 0 on success.
+ - -EINVAL if args[0] is outside the range of HGATP modes supported by the
+ hardware.
+ - -EBUSY if vCPUs have already been created for the VM, if the VM has any
+ non-empty memslots.
+
+This capability allows userspace to explicitly select the HGATP mode for
+the VM. The selected mode must be supported by both KVM and hardware. This
+capability must be enabled before creating any vCPUs or memslots.
+
+``KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION(KVM_CAP_RISCV_SET_HGATP_MODE)`` returns a bitmask of
+HGATP.MODE values supported by the host. A return value of 0 indicates that
+the capability is not supported.
+
+The returned bitmask uses the following bit positions::
+
+ bit 0: HGATP.MODE = SV39X4
+ bit 1: HGATP.MODE = SV48X4
+ bit 2: HGATP.MODE = SV57X4
+
8. Other capabilities.
