Add a stage2 helper, kvm_pgtable_stage2_create_unlinked(), for creating unlinked tables (which is the opposite of kvm_pgtable_stage2_free_unlinked()). Creating an unlinked table is useful for splitting level 1 and 2 entries into subtrees of PAGE_SIZE PTEs. For example, a level 1 entry can be split into PAGE_SIZE PTEs by first creating a fully populated tree, and then use it to replace the level 1 entry in a single step. This will be used in a subsequent commit for eager huge-page splitting (a dirty-logging optimization).

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.
