Set shadow_dirty_mask to the architectural EPT Dirty bit value even if A/D bits are disabled at the module level, i.e. even if KVM will never enable A/D bits in hardware. Doing so provides consistent behavior for Accessed and Dirty bits, i.e. doesn't leave KVM in a state where it sets shadow_accessed_mask but not shadow_dirty_mask. Functionally, this should be one big nop, as consumption of shadow_dirty_mask is always guarded by a check that hardware A/D bits are enabled.

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.
