This series enables the ring-based dirty memory tracking for ARM64.
The feature has been available and enabled on x86 for a while. It
is beneficial when the number of dirty pages is small in a checkpointing
system or live migration scenario. More details can be found from
fb04a1eddb1a ("KVM: X86: Implement ring-based dirty memory tracking").

The generic part has been comprehensive, meaning there isn't too much
work, needed to extend it to ARM64.

  PATCH[1]   introduces KVM_REQ_RING_SOFT_FULL for x86
  PATCH[2]   moves declaration of kvm_cpu_dirty_log_size()
  PATCH[3]   enables the feature on ARM64
  PATCH[4-6] improves kvm/selftests/dirty_log_test

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YyiV%2Fl7O23aw5aaO@xz-m1.local/T/
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220819005601.198436-1-gshan@redhat.com

Testing
=======
(1) kvm/selftests/dirty_log_test
(2) Live migration by QEMU

Changelog
=========
v3:
  * Check KVM_REQ_RING_SOFT_RULL inside kvm_request_pending()  (Peter)
  * Move declaration of kvm_cpu_dirty_log_size()               (test-robot)
v2:
  * Introduce KVM_REQ_RING_SOFT_FULL                           (Marc)
  * Changelog improvement                                      (Marc)
