[Yes, I have since learned that FWB doesn't always mean "Force Write
Back". I'm not judging.]
This is v2 for this small series teaching pKVM about the benefits
(haha) of using FWB on the host S2 page-tables.
* From v1 [1]:
- Dropped the stage2_pte_cacheable() hack after both Will and Alex
made the valid point that I can't read
- Killed stage2_has_fwb() altogether
- Collected RBs and TBs, thanks to Joey and Fuad!
