KVM: selftests: Add vm->memslots[] and enum kvm_mem_region_type
The vm_create() helpers are hardcoded to place most page types (code, page-tables, stacks, etc) in the same memslot #0, and always backed with anonymous 4K. There are a couple of issues with that. First, tests willing to differ a bit, like placing page-tables in a different backing source type must replicate much of what's already done by the vm_create() functions. Second, the hardcoded assumption of memslot #0 holding most things is spread everywhere; this makes it very hard to change. Fix the above issues by having selftests specify how they want memory to be laid out. Start by changing ____vm_create() to not create memslot #0; a test (to come) will specify all memslots used by the VM. Then, add the vm->memslots[] array to specify the right memslot for different memory allocators, e.g.,: lib/elf should use the vm->[MEM_REGION_CODE] memslot. This will be used as a way to specify the page-tables memslots (to be backed by huge pages for example). There is no functional change intended. The current commit lays out memory exactly as before. A future commit will change the allocators to get the region they should be using, e.g.,: like the page table allocators using the pt memslot.
