KVM: x86/mmu: Drop infrastructure for multiple page-track modes
Drop "support" for multiple page-track modes, as there is no evidence that array-based and refcounted metadata is the optimal solution for other modes, nor is there any evidence that other use cases, e.g. for access-tracking, will be a good fit for the page-track machinery in general. E.g. one potential use case of access-tracking would be to prevent guest access to poisoned memory (from the guest's perspective). In that case, the number of poisoned pages is likely to be a very small percentage of the guest memory, and there is no need to reference count the number of access-tracking users, i.e. expanding gfn_track[] for a new mode would be grossly inefficient. And for poisoned memory, host userspace would also likely want to trap accesses, e.g. to inject #MC into the guest, and that isn't currently supported by the page-track framework. A better alternative for that poisoned page use case is likely a variation of the proposed per-gfn attributes overlay (linked), which would allow efficiently tracking the sparse set of poisoned pages, and by default would exit to userspace on access.
