Subject: [PATCH v6 3/5] kvm: arm64: New memslot flag to indicate cacheable mapping

From: Ankit Agrawal <ankita@...dia.com>

Introduce a new memslot flag KVM_MEM_ENABLE_CACHEABLE_PFNMAP
as a tool for userspace to indicate that it expects a particular
PFN range to be mapped cacheable.

This will serve as a guide for the KVM to activate the code that
allows cacheable PFNMAP.
