Move the sanity check that hardware never sets bits that collide with KVM-
define synthetic bits from kvm_mmu_page_fault() to npf_interception(),
i.e. make the sanity check #NPF specific.  The legacy #PF path already
WARNs if _any_ of bits 63:32 are set, and the error code that comes from
VMX's EPT Violatation and Misconfig is 100% synthesized (KVM morphs VMX's
EXIT_QUALIFICATION into error code flags).

Add a compile-time assert in the legacy #PF handler to make sure that KVM-
define flags are covered by its existing sanity check on the upper bits.

Opportunistically add a description of PFERR_IMPLICIT_ACCESS, since we
are removing the comment that defined it.

1. There is no sanity check above related to KVM-defined flags yet. It has
to be after Patch 6.

Ya, it's not just the comment, the entire changelog expects this patch to land
after patch 6.

2. I somehow cannot parse the comment properly, though I know it's to ensure
KVM-defined PFERR_SYNTHETIC_MASK not contain any bit below 32-bits.

Hmm, how about this?

	/*
	 * Ensure that the above sanity check on hardware error code bits 63:32
	 * also prevents false positives on KVM-defined flags.
	 */


Maybe it's just myself inability, I still cannot interpret it well.

Can't we put it above the sanity check of error code, and just with a comment like

	/*
 	 * Ensure KVM-defined flags not occupied any bits below 32-bits,
         * that are used by hardware.
	 * /
