Merge tag 'kvm-x86-mmu-6.13' of https://github.com/kvm-x86/linux into HEAD

KVM x86 MMU changes for 6.13

 - Cleanup KVM's handling of Accessed and Dirty bits to dedup code, improve
   documentation, harden against unexpected changes, and to simplify
   A/D-disabled MMUs by using the hardware-defined A/D bits to track if a
   PFN is Accessed and/or Dirty.

 - Elide TLB flushes when aging SPTEs, as has been done in x86's primary
   MMU for over 10 years.

 - Batch TLB flushes when zapping collapsible TDP MMU SPTEs, i.e. when
   dirty logging is toggled off, which reduces the time it takes to disable
   dirty logging by ~3x.

 - Recover huge pages in-place in the TDP MMU instead of zapping the SP
   and waiting until the page is re-accessed to create a huge mapping.
   Proactively installing huge pages can reduce vCPU jitter in extreme
   scenarios.

 - Remove support for (poorly) reclaiming page tables in shadow MMUs via
   the primary MMU's shrinker interface.
