Add support to MMU caches for initializing a page with a custom 64-bit value, e.g. to pre-fill an entire page table with non-zero PTE values. The functionality will be used by x86 to support Intel's TDX, which needs to set bit 63 in all non-present PTEs in order to prevent !PRESENT page faults from getting reflected into the guest (Intel's EPT Violation #VE architecture made the less than brilliant decision of having the per-PTE behavior be opt-out instead of opt-in).

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.
