SPTEs are tagged with software-only bits to indicate if it is
"MMU-writable" and "Host-writable". These bits are used to determine why
KVM has marked an SPTE as read-only.
Document these bits and their invariants, and enforce the invariants
with new WARNs in spte_can_locklessly_be_made_writable() to ensure they
are not accidentally violated in the future.
Opportunistically move DEFAULT_SPTE_{MMU,HOST}_WRITABLE next to
EPT_SPTE_{MMU,HOST}_WRITABLE since the new documentation applies to
both.
No functional change 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 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.
