Introduce support for movable memory regions in the Hyper-V root partition driver to improve memory management flexibility and enable advanced use cases such as dynamic memory remapping. Mirror the address space between the Linux root partition and guest VMs using HMM. The root partition owns the memory, while guest VMs act as devices with page tables managed via hypercalls. MSHV handles VP intercepts by invoking hmm_range_fault() and updating SLAT entries. When memory is reclaimed, HMM invalidates the relevant regions, prompting MSHV to clear SLAT entries; guest VMs will fault again on access. Integrate mmu_interval_notifier for movable regions, implement handlers for HMM faults and memory invalidation, and update memory region mapping logic to support movable regions. While MMU notifiers are commonly used in virtualization drivers, this implementation leverages HMM (Heterogeneous Memory Management) for its specialized functionality. HMM provides a framework for mirroring, invalidation, and fault handling, reducing boilerplate and improving maintainability compared to generic MMU notifiers.

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 reStructuredText 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.
