Subject: [PATCH 1/7] KVM: Allow page-sized MMU caches to be initialized with custom 64-bit values

From: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@...gle.com>

Add support to MMU caches for initializing a page with a custom 64-bit
value, e.g. to pre-fill an entire page table with non-zero PTE values.
The functionality will be used by x86 to support Intel's TDX, which needs
to set bit 63 in all non-present PTEs in order to prevent !PRESENT page
faults from getting reflected into the guest (Intel's EPT Violation #VE
architecture made the less than brilliant decision of having the per-PTE
behavior be opt-out instead of opt-in).
