This series enables the ring-based dirty memory tracking for ARM64.
The feature has been available and enabled on x86 for a while. It
is beneficial when the number of dirty pages is small in a checkpointing
system or live migration scenario. More details can be found from
fb04a1eddb1a ("KVM: X86: Implement ring-based dirty memory tracking").
This series is applied on top of Marc's v2 series [0], fixing dirty-ring
ordering issue. This series is going to land on v6.1.rc0 pretty soon.

traditional bitmap-based dirty log tracking is
exclusive to dirty-ring in PATCH[v6 3/8] (Peter)

* Move declaration of kvm_cpu_dirty_log_size() (test-robot)
v2:
* Introduce KVM_REQ_RING_SOFT_FULL (Marc)
* Changelog improvement (Marc)
* Fix dirty_log_test without knowing host page size (Drew)

It seems Oliver and Sean were missed in the loop, even though I explicitly
copied them by git-send-email. Amend to include them.
Thanks,
Gavin
