guest_memfd pages are generally expected to be in some arch-defined initial state prior to using them for guest memory. For SEV-SNP this initial state is 'private', or 'guest-owned', and requires additional operations to move these pages into a 'private' state by updating the corresponding entries the RMP table. Allow for an arch-defined hook to handle updates of this sort, and go ahead and implement one for x86 so KVM implementations like AMD SVM can register a kvm_x86_ops callback to handle these updates for SEV-SNP guests. The preparation callback is always called when allocating/grabbing folios via gmem, and it is up to the architecture to keep track of whether or not the pages are already in the expected state (e.g. the RMP table in the case of SEV-SNP). In some cases, it is necessary to defer the preparation of the pages to handle things like in-place encryption of initial guest memory payloads before marking these pages as 'private'/'guest-owned'. Add an argument (always true for now) to kvm_gmem_get_folio() that allows for the preparation callback to be bypassed. To detect possible issues in the way userspace initializes memory, it is only possible to add an unprepared page if it is not already included in the filemap.

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.
