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.
