v13:
 - Rebased onto v6.12-rc2
 - Collect reviews. [Alex and others]
 - Fix a transient bug in arm64 and RISC-V where KVM would leak a page
   refcount. [Oliver]
 - Fix a dangling comment. [Alex]
 - Drop kvm_lookup_pfn(), as the x86 that "needed" it was stupid and is (was?)
   eliminated in v6.12.
 - Drop check_user_page_hwpoison(). [Paolo]
 - Drop the arm64 MTE fixes that went into 6.12.
 - Slightly redo the guest_memfd interaction to account for 6.12 changes.
Here is my own summary of the changes:
Yep, looks right to me.
patches removed from v12:
01/02 - already upstream
09 - moved to separate A/D series [1]
34 - not needed due to new patch 36
35 - gone after 620525739521376a65a690df899e1596d56791f8

patches added or substantially changed in v13:
05/06/07 - new, suggested by Yan Zhao
08 - code was folded from mmu_spte_age into kvm_rmap_age_gfn_range
14 - new, suggested by me in reply to 84/84 (yuck)
15 - new, suggested by me in reply to 84/84
19 - somewhat rewritten for new follow_pfnmap API
27 - smaller changes due to new follow_pfnmap API
36 - rewritten, suggested by me
45 - new, cleanup
46 - much simplified due to new patch 45

Looks good to me, thanks and congratulations!! Should we merge it in
kvm/next asap?
That has my vote, though I'm obvious extremely biased :-)
