A page state change is typically followed by an access of the page(s) and
results in another VMEXIT in order to map the page into the nested page
table. Depending on the size of page state change request, this can
generate a number of additional VMEXITs. For example, under SNP, when
Linux is utilizing lazy memory acceptance, memory is typically accepted in
4M chunks. A page state change request is submitted to mark the pages as
private, followed by validation of the memory. Since the guest_memfd
currently only supports 4K pages, each page validation will result in
VMEXIT to map the page, resulting in 1024 additional exits.
When performing a page state change, invoke KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY for the
size of the page state change in order to pre-map the pages and avoid the
additional VMEXITs. This helps speed up boot times.

Accel & Exec patch queue
- Ignore writes to CNTP_CTL_EL0 on HVF ARM (Alexander)
- Add '-d invalid_mem' logging option (Zoltan)
- Create QOM containers explicitly (Peter)
- Rename sysemu/ -> system/ (Philippe)
- Re-orderning of include/exec/ headers (Philippe)
Move a lot of declarations from these legacy mixed bag headers:
. "exec/cpu-all.h"
. "exec/cpu-common.h"
. "exec/cpu-defs.h"
. "exec/exec-all.h"
. "exec/translate-all"
to these more specific ones:
. "exec/page-protection.h"
. "exec/translation-block.h"
. "user/cpu_loop.h"
. "user/guest-host.h"
. "user/page-protection.h"

Headers in include/sysemu/ are not only related to system
*emulation*, they are also used by virtualization. Rename
as system/ which is clearer.
Files renamed manually then mechanical change using sed tool.
