Many KVM Updates Merged For Linux 6.15

KVM on x86 added support for aging of Shadow Page Table Entries (SPTEs) without holding the MMU lock.

The Intel-specific KVM code for Linux 6.15 brings several bug fixes, including preparation work for FRED virtualization support around Flexible Return Event Delivery.
