This series of patches add support to the Hardware Dirty state tracking
Structure(HDBSS) feature, which is introduced by the ARM architecture
in the DDI0601(ID121123) version.

The HDBSS feature is an extension to the architecture that enhances
tracking translation table descriptors' dirty state, identified as
FEAT_HDBSS. This feature utilizes hardware assistance to achieve dirty
page tracking, aiming to significantly reduce the overhead of scanning
for dirty pages.
