Because the x86 MMU locklessly implements fast_only versions of
kvm_test_age_gfn and kvm_age_gfn, we can advertise support for
has_fast_aging to allow MGLRU to quickly find better eviction
candidates.
There is one case where the MMU is not 100% accurate: for the shadow
MMU, when A/D bits are not in use, young sptes will never be aged with
the fast_only kvm_age_gfn. In this case, such pages will consistently
appear young, so they will be the least likely eviction candidates.
