[PATCH v3 0/2] MTE support for KVM guest

Version 3 of adding MTE support for KVM guests. See the previous (v2)
posting for background:

 https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200904160018.29481-1-steven.price%40arm.com

These patches add support to KVM to enable MTE within a guest. They are
based on Catalin's v9 MTE user-space support series[1] (currently in
next).

Changes since v2:

 * MTE is no longer a VCPU feature, instead it is a VM cap.

 * Being a VM cap means easier probing (check for KVM_CAP_ARM_MTE).

 * The cap must be set before any VCPUs are created, preventing any
   shenanigans where MTE is enabled for the guest after memory accesses
   have been performed.
