This patch introduces a hypercall that can assist against subset of kernel
rootkits, it works by place readonly protection in shadow PTE. The end
result protection is also kept in a bitmap for each kvm_memory_slot and is
used as reference when updating SPTEs. The whole goal is to protect the
guest
The old way of storing protected chunks was a linked list. That made
linear overhead when searching for chunks. When reaching 2000 chunk, The
time taken two read the last chunk was about 10 times slower than the
first chunk. This patch stores the chunks as tree for faster search.

This will help sharing data into the slot_level_handler callback. In my
case I need to a share a counter for the pages traversed to use it in some
bitmap. Being able to send arbitrary memory pointer into the
slot_level_handler callback made it easy.

The conditions upon which kvm_free_memslot are kind of ad-hock,
it will be hard to extend memslot with allocatable data that needs to be
freed, so I replaced the current mechanism by clear flag that states if
the memory slot should be freed.

-- Summary --
ROE is a hypercall that enables host operating system to restrict guest's access
to its own memory. This will provide a hardening mechanism that can be used to
stop rootkits from manipulating kernel static data structures and code. Once a
memory region is protected the guest kernel c

If a watchdog driver tells the framework that the device is running,
the framework takes care of feeding the watchdog until userspace opens
