Add a "vm_shape" structure to encapsulate the selftests-defined "mode", along with the KVM-defined "type" for use when creating a new VM. "mode" tracks physical and virtual address properties, as well as the preferred backing memory type, while "type" corresponds to the VM type. Taking the VM type will allow adding tests for KVM_CREATE_GUEST_MEMFD without needing an entirely separate set of helpers. At this time, guest_memfd is effectively usable only by confidential VM types in the form of guest private memory, and it's expected that x86 will double down and require unique VM types for TDX and SNP guests.

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 Restructured Text 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.
