Subject: [PATCH 05/14] KVM: arm64: Don't overwrite ignored bits with owner id

The nVHE protected mode uses invalid mappings in the host stage-2
page-table to track the owner of each page in the system. In order to
allow the usage of ignored bits (a.k.a. software bits) in these
mappings, move the owner encoding away from the top bits.
