Public bug reported:

This series just made linux-next and is expected to land in v6.17. It
adds support for device cacheable memory within a VM and is needed to
support GPU PT on NVIDIA Grace systems.

Lore discussion: 
https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/
Upstream SHAs (linux-next):
8cc9dc1ae4fb KVM: arm64: Rename the device variable to s2_force_noncacheable
216887f79d98 KVM: arm64: Assume non-PFNMAP/MIXEDMAP VMAs can be mapped cacheable
2a8dfab26677 KVM: arm64: Block cacheable PFNMAP mapping
0c67288e0c8b KVM: arm64: Allow cacheable stage 2 mapping using VMA flags
f55ce5a6cd33 KVM: arm64: Expose new KVM cap for cacheable PFNMAP

We currently hold a NVIDIA SAUCE patch in the -nvidia 6.14 HWE
(b244d1e5cdeb NVIDIA: SAUCE: KVM: arm64: determine memory type from VMA)
that supports this function. Revert this patch and backport the series
to 6.14 HWE. Note that only 1 patch (f55ce5a6cd33) did not pick cleanly
due to some context collisions. These were addressed during the pick as
indicated in the commit message.

Tested by performing GPU PT on GB200 with 1 and 4 GPUs and running CUDA
workloads within the VM.

** Affects: linux-nvidia (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
