The 'concrete' (a.k.a non-meta) page states are currently encoded using software bits in PTEs. For performance reasons, the abstract pkvm_page_state enum uses the same bits to encode these states as that makes conversions from and to PTEs easy. In order to prepare the ground for moving the 'concrete' state storage to the hyp vmemmap, re-arrange the enum to use bits 0 and 1 for this purpose. No functional changes intended.

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.
