The KVM_GET_NR_MMU_PAGES ioctl is quite questionable on 64-bit hosts
since it fails to return the full 64 bits of the value that can be
set with the corresponding KVM_SET_NR_MMU_PAGES call. This ioctl
likely has also never really been used by userspace applications
(at least not by QEMU and kvmtool which I checked), so it's better
to move it to the deprecation section in kvm.h to make it clear for
developers that this also should not be used in new code in the
future anymore.
