Add and use a synthetic, KVM-defined page fault error code to indicate whether a fault is to private vs. shared memory. TDX and SNP have different mechanisms for reporting private vs. shared, and KVM's software-protected VMs have no mechanism at all. Usurp an error code flag to avoid having to plumb another parameter to kvm_mmu_page_fault() and friends. Alternatively, KVM could borrow AMD's PFERR_GUEST_ENC_MASK, i.e. set it for TDX and software-protected VMs as appropriate, but that would require *clearing* the flag for SEV and SEV-ES VMs, which support encrypted memory at the hardware layer, but don't utilize private memory at the KVM layer. Opportunistically add a comment to call out that the logic for software- protected VMs is (and was before this commit) broken for nested MMUs, i.e. for nested TDP, as the GPA is an L2 GPA. Punt on trying to play nice with nested MMUs as there is a _lot_ of functionality that simply doesn't work for software-protected VMs, e.g. all of the paths where KVM accesses guest memory need to be updated to be aware of private vs. shared memory.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
