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").

Testing
=======
(1) kvm/selftests/dirty_log_test
(2) Live migration by QEMU
Changelog
=========
v7:
* Cut down #ifdef, avoid using 'container_of()', move the
dirty-ring check after KVM_REQ_VM_DEAD, add comments
for kvm_dirty_ring_check_request(), use tab character
for KVM event definitions in kvm_host.h in PATCH[v7 01] (Sean)
* Add PATCH[v7 03] to recheck if the capability has
been advertised prior to enable RING/RING_ACEL_REL (Sean)
* Improve the description about capability RING_WITH_BITMAP,
rename kvm_dirty_ring_exclusive() to kvm_use_dirty_bitmap()
in PATCH[v7 04/09] (Peter/Oliver/Sean)
* Add PATCH[v7 05/09] to improve no-running-vcpu report (Marc/Sean)
* Improve commit messages (Sean/Oliver)
v6:
* Add CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_DIRTY_RING_WITH_BITMAP, for arm64
to advertise KVM_CAP_DIRTY_RING_WITH_BITMAP in
PATCH[v6 3/8] (Oliver/Peter)
* Add helper kvm_dirty_ring_exclusive() to check if
traditional bitmap-based dirty log tracking is
exclusive to dirty-ring in PATCH[v6 3/8] (Peter)
* Enable KVM_CAP_DIRTY_RING_WITH_BITMAP in PATCH[v6 5/8] (Gavin)
v5:
* Drop empty stub kvm_dirty_ring_check_request() (Marc/Peter)
* Add PATCH[v5 3/7] to allow using bitmap, indicated by
KVM_CAP_DIRTY_LOG_RING_ALLOW_BITMAP (Marc/Peter)
v4:
* Commit log improvement (Marc)
* Add helper kvm_dirty_ring_check_request() (Marc)
* Drop ifdef for kvm_cpu_dirty_log_size() (Marc)
v3:
* Check KVM_REQ_RING_SOFT_RULL inside kvm_request_pending() (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)
