Add an assertion in kvm_mmu_page_fault() to ensure the error code provided
by hardware doesn't conflict with KVM's software-defined IMPLICIT_ACCESS
flag. In the unlikely scenario that future hardware starts using bit 48
for a hardware-defined flag, preserving the bit could result in KVM
incorrectly interpreting the unknown flag as KVM's IMPLICIT_ACCESS flag.
WARN so that any such conflict can be surfaced to KVM developers and
resolved, but otherwise ignore the bit as KVM can't possibly rely on a
flag it knows nothing about.

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.
