Fuad Tabba d1e54dd08f KVM: x86: Enable KVM_GUEST_MEMFD for all 64-bit builds
Enable KVM_GUEST_MEMFD for all KVM x86 64-bit builds, i.e. for "default"
VM types when running on 64-bit KVM.  This will allow using guest_memfd
to back non-private memory for all VM shapes, by supporting mmap() on
guest_memfd.

Opportunistically clean up various conditionals that become tautologies
once x86 selects KVM_GUEST_MEMFD more broadly.  Specifically, because
SW protected VMs, SEV, and TDX are all 64-bit only, private memory no
longer needs to take explicit dependencies on KVM_GUEST_MEMFD, because
it is effectively a prerequisite.

README

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 reStructuredText 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.
