Add compile-time and init-time sanity checks to ensure that the MMIO SPTE mask doesn't overlap the MMIO SPTE generation or the MMU-present bit. The generation currently avoids using bit 63, but that's as much coincidence as it is strictly necessarly. That will change in the future, as TDX support will require setting bit 63 (SUPPRESS_VE) in the mask. Explicitly carve out the bits that are allowed in the mask so that any future shuffling of SPTE bits doesn't silently break MMIO caching (KVM has broken MMIO caching more than once due to overlapping the generation with other things).

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.
