[RFC 1/4] arm64/mm: Add SW and HW dirty state helpers

From: Anshuman Khandual
Date: Fri Jul 07 2023 - 01:33:58 EST


This factors out low level SW and HW state changes i.e make and clear into
separate helpers making them explicit improving readability. This also adds
pte_rdonly() helper as well. No functional change is intended.
