This patchset adds a fast path to clear the accessed bit without
taking kvm->mmu_lock. It can significantly improve the performance of
guests when the host is under heavy memory pressure.

ChromeOS has been using a similar approach [1] since mid 2021 and it
was proven successful on tens of millions devices.

This v2 addressed previous requests [2] on refactoring code, removing
inaccurate/redundant texts, etc.

From the KVM point of view the patches look good (though I wouldn't mind if Nicholas took a look at the ppc part). Jason's comment on the MMU notifier side are promising as well. Can you send v3 with Oliver's comments addressed?

Thanks,
