The KVM_GET_NR_MMU_PAGES ioctl is quite questionable on 64-bit hosts

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.
Did this get included in the series inadvertently?
No, it's here on purpose, as a second step to patch 2/7 (and a follow up
from the discussion last year, see
https://lore.kernel.org/kvm/YpZu6%2Fk+8EydfBKf@xxxxxxxxxx/ ) ... sorry, I
should have elaborated on this in the cover letter, too.
