Introduce a new ioctl that extends the functionality of KVM_TRANSLATE. It
allows the caller to specify an access mode that must be upheld throughout
the entire page walk. Additionally, it provides control over whether the
accessed/dirty bits in the page table should be set at all, and whether
they should be set if the walk fails. Lastly, if the page walk fails, it
returns the exact error code which caused the failure.
KVM_TRANSLATE lacks information about executability of the translated page
and doesn't provide control over the accessed/dirty page table bits at
all. Because it lacks any sort of input flags, it cannot simply be
expanded without breaking backwards compatibility. Additionally, in the
x86 implementation the 'writable' and 'usermode' are currently hardcoded
to 1 and 0 respectively, which is behaviour that might be relied upon.
The ioctl will be implemented for x86 in following commits.
