[RFC PATCH 00/16] KVM: arm64: Add "struct kvm_page_fault"

Add an arm64 version of "struct kvm_page_fault" to (hopefully) tidy up
the abort path, and to pave the way for things like KVM Userfault[*] that
want to consume kvm_page_fault in arch-neutral code.

This is essentially one giant nop of code shuffling.

RFC as this is only compile-tested.  I didn't want to spend time testing
until I got feedback on whether or not y'all are amenable to the general idea.
