Subject: [GIT PULL] KVM: GUEST_MEMFD fixes for 6.8

Minor fixes related GUEST_MEMFD.  I _just_ posted these, and they've only
been in -next for one night, but I am sending this now to ensure you see it
asap, as patch 1 in particular affects KVM's ABI, i.e. really should land
in 6.8 before GUEST_MEMFD support is officially released.

The following changes since commit c48617fbbe831d4c80fe84056033f17b70a31136:

  Merge tag 'kvmarm-fixes-6.8-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvmarm/kvmarm into HEAD (2024-02-21 05:18:56 -0500)

are available in the Git repository at:

  KVM: selftests: Add a testcase to verify GUEST_MEMFD and READONLY are exclusive (2024-02-22 17:07:06 -0800)

----------------------------------------------------------------
KVM GUEST_MEMFD fixes for 6.8:

 - Make KVM_MEM_GUEST_MEMFD mutually exclusive with KVM_MEM_READONLY to
   avoid creating ABI that KVM can't sanely support.

 - Update documentation for KVM_SW_PROTECTED_VM to make it abundantly
   clear that such VMs are purely a development and testing vehicle, and
   come with zero guarantees.

 - Limit KVM_SW_PROTECTED_VM guests to the TDP MMU, as the long term plan
   is to support confidential VMs with deterministic private memory (SNP
   and TDX) only in the TDP MMU.

 - Fix a bug in a GUEST_MEMFD negative test that resulted in false passes
   when verifying that KVM_MEM_GUEST_MEMFD memslots can't be dirty logged.
