Add support for tagging and untagging guest physical address, e.g. to allow x86's SEV and TDX guests to embed shared vs. private information in the GPA. SEV (encryption, a.k.a. C-bit) and TDX (shared, a.k.a. S-bit) steal bits from the guest's physical address space that is consumed by the CPU metadata, i.e. effectively aliases the "real" GPA. Implement generic "tagging" so that the shared vs. private metadata can be managed by x86 without bleeding too many details into common code.

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.
