KVM: x86/mmu: Drop @slot param from exported/external page-track APIs Refactor KVM's exported/external page-track, a.k.a. write-track, APIs to take only the gfn and do the required memslot lookup in KVM proper. Forcing users of the APIs to get the memslot unnecessarily bleeds KVM internals into KVMGT and complicates usage of the APIs. No functional change intended.

KVM: x86/mmu: Rename page-track APIs to reflect the new reality Rename the page-track APIs to capture that they're all about tracking writes, now that the facade of supporting multiple modes is gone. Opportunstically replace "slot" with "gfn" in anticipation of removing the @slot param from the external APIs. No functional change intended.

KVM: x86/mmu: Drop infrastructure for multiple page-track modes Drop "support" for multiple page-track modes, as there is no evidence that array-based and refcounted metadata is the optimal solution for other modes, nor is there any evidence that other use cases, e.g. for access-tracking, will be a good fit for the page-track machinery in general. E.g. one potential use case of access-tracking would be to prevent guest access to poisoned memory (from the guest's perspective). In that case, the number of poisoned pages is likely to be a very small percentage of the guest memory, and there is no need to reference count the number of access-tracking users, i.e. expanding gfn_track[] for a new mode would be grossly inefficient. And for poisoned memory, host userspace would also likely want to trap accesses, e.g. to inject #MC into the guest, and that isn't currently supported by the page-track framework. A better alternative for that poisoned page use case is likely a variation of the proposed per-gfn attributes overlay (linked), which would allow efficiently tracking the sparse set of poisoned pages, and by default would exit to userspace on access.

KVM: x86/mmu: Use page-track notifiers iff there are external users Disable the page-track notifier code at compile time if there are no external users, i.e. if CONFIG_KVM_EXTERNAL_WRITE_TRACKING=n. KVM itself now hooks emulated writes directly instead of relying on the page-track mechanism. Provide a stub for "struct kvm_page_track_notifier_node" so that including headers directly from the command line, e.g. for testing include guards, doesn't fail due to a struct having an incomplete type.

KVM: x86/mmu: Move KVM-only page-track declarations to internal header Bury the declaration of the page-track helpers that are intended only for internal KVM use in a "private" header. In addition to guarding against unwanted usage of the internal-only helpers, dropping their definitions avoids exposing other structures that should be KVM-internal, e.g. for memslots. This is a baby step toward making kvm_host.h a KVM-internal header in the very distant future.
