[PATCH v11 0/6] MTE support for KVM guest

I know it's likely to be the merge window next week, but since there
were a couple of changes from Catalin's review I thought I'd send
another version out - there are some minor conflicts with what's
currently in -next so I'll rebase after -rc1.

This series adds support for using the Arm Memory Tagging Extensions
(MTE) in a KVM guest.

This version is rebased on v5.12-rc2.

Changes since v10[1]:

 * Replace pte_valid_user() with (pte_val(pte) & PTE_USER) in
   set_pte_at() as the former has been removed with the EPAN patches.
 * Don't attempt to check tags on memory which is going to be mapped in
   stage 2 as DEVICE as the guest won't be able to see the tags.
 * Use pfn_to_online_page() instead of pfn_to_page() in user_mem_abort()
   to prevent ZONE_DEVICE memory being populated in stage 2 if tags are
   enabled.
