This is effectively an extensive of the kvm_follow_pfn series[*] (and applies on top of said series), but is x86-specific and is *almost* entirely related to Accessed and Dirty bits. There's no central theme beyond cleaning up things that were discovered when digging deep for the kvm_follow_pfn overhaul, and to a lesser extent the series to add MGLRU support in KVM x86.
