Make the location of the HOST_WRITABLE and MMU_WRITABLE configurable for
a given KVM instance. This will allow EPT to use high available bits,
which in turn will free up bit 11 for a constant MMU_PRESENT bit.
No functional change intended.

Rename the various A/D status defines to explicitly associated them with
TDP. There is a subtle dependency on the bits in question never being
set when using PAE paging, as those bits are reserved, not available.
I.e. using these bits outside of TDP (technically EPT) would cause
explosions.
No functional change intended.

To prepare for handling page faults in parallel, change the TDP MMU
page fault handler to use atomic operations to set SPTEs so that changes
are not lost if multiple threads attempt to modify the same SPTE.

Clarify locking.rst to mention early that we're not enabling fast page
fault for indirect sps. The previous wording is confusing, in that it
seems the proposed solution has been already implemented but it has not.
