Add an early parameter that allows users to select the mode of operation for KVM/arm64. For now, the only supported value is "protected". By passing this flag users opt into the hypervisor placing additional restrictions on the host kernel. These allow the hypervisor to spawn guests whose state is kept private from the host. Restrictions will include stage-2 address translation to prevent host from accessing guest memory, filtering its SMC calls, etc. Without this parameter, the default behaviour remains selecting VHE/nVHE based on hardware support and CONFIG_ARM64_VHE.

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 Restructured Text 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.
