[PATCH v6 5/8] KVM: Add KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT exit

[Chao Peng]

This new KVM exit allows userspace to handle memory-related errors. It
indicates an error happens in KVM at guest memory range [gpa, gpa+size).
The flags includes additional information for userspace to handle the
error. Currently bit 0 is defined as 'private memory' where '1'
indicates error happens due to private memory access and '0' indicates
error happens due to shared memory access.

After private memory is enabled, this new exit will be used for KVM to
exit to userspace for shared memory <-> private memory conversion in
memory encryption usage.

In such usage, typically there are two kind of memory conversions:
  - explicit conversion: happens when guest explicitly calls into KVM to
    map a range (as private or shared), KVM then exits to userspace to
    do the map/unmap operations.
  - implicit conversion: happens in KVM page fault handler.
    * if the fault is due to a private memory access then causes a
      userspace exit for a shared->private conversion request when the
      page has not been allocated in the private memory backend.
    * If the fault is due to a shared memory access then causes a
      userspace exit for a private->shared conversion request when the
      page has already been allocated in the private memory backend.
