[PATCH v8 00/43] arm64: Support for Arm CCA in KVM

We tested this patch in our internal simulator which is a hardware simulator for Fujitsu's next generation CPU known as Monaka. and it produced the expected results.

I have verified the following
1. Launching the realm VM using Internal simulator → Successfully launched by disabling MPAM support in the ID register.
2. Running kvm-unit-tests (with lkvm) → All tests passed except for PMU (as expected, since PMU is not supported by the Internal simulator).[1]

> This series adds support for running protected VMs using KVM under the Arm
> Confidential Compute Architecture (CCA).
> 
> The related guest support was merged for v6.14-rc1 so you no longer need that
> separately.
> 
> There are a few changes since v7, many thanks for the review comments. The
> highlights are below, and individual patches have a changelog.
> 
>  * More documentation - the new ioctls and capabilties are now all
>    documented.
> 
>  * Initial patch adding "only_private"/"only_shared" to struct
>    kvm_gfn_range replaced with already upstream "attr_filter".
> 
>  * Improvement in variable naming and error codes, and some improved/new
>    comments. All following valuable review feedback (thanks!).
> 
>  * Drop the final WIP patch for enabling large PAGE_SIZE support. It's
>    not ready for merging and I want to focus on landing the 4k support.
> 
>  * Rebased onto v6.15-rc1.
> 
> Things to note:
> 
>  * The magic numbers for capabilities and ioctls have been updated. So
>    you'll need to update your VMM. See below for update kvmtool branch.
> 
>  * Patch 42 increases KVM_VCPU_MAX_FEATURES to expose the new feature.
>    This also exposes the NV features (as they are currently numbered
>    lower). This will resolve when Marc's NV series has landed, see [2].
> 
>  * There are some conflicts with v6.15-rc2, mostly documentation, but
>    also commit 26fbdf369227 ("KVM: arm64: Don't translate FAR if
>    invalid/unsafe") 'hijacks' HPFAR_EL2_NS as a valid bit. This will
>    require corresponding changes to the CCA code.
> 
> The ABI to the RMM (the RMI) is based on RMM v1.0-rel0 specification[1].
> 
> This series is based on v6.15-rc1. It is also available as a git
