I'm not sure how the patch below deals with host MMIOs?

Missing Signed-off-by.

Also, this patch conflicts with "[PATCH v11 09/35] KVM: x86: Determine
shared/private faults based on vm_type".  I think in general the logic
in that patch (which forces an exit to userspace if needed, to convert
the MMIO area to shared) can be applied to sw-protected and TDX guests
as well. I'm preparing a set of common patches that can be applied for
6.9 and will include something after testing with sw-protected VMs.
