Subject: [PATCH v1 0/5] KVM: arm64: Enable ring-based dirty memory tracking

This series enables the ring-based dirty memory tracking for ARM64. 
The feature has been available and enabled on x86 for a while. It
is beneficial when the number of dirty pages is small in a checkpointing
system or live migration scenario. More details can be found from
fb04a1eddb1a ("KVM: X86: Implement ring-based dirty memory tracking").

The generic part has been comprehensive enough, meaning there isn't too
much work, needed to extend it to ARM64. 

- PATCH[1]   enables the feature on ARM64
- PATCH[2-5] improves kvm/selftests/dirty_log_test

Testing
=======

- kvm/selftests/dirty_log_test
- Live migration by QEMU
- Host with 4KB or 64KB base page size
