A few nits below, other than that:

Nice!

I don't think setting bit 51 is necessary. Setting a reserved PA bit is
purely to trigger the #PF, the MMIO spte itself is confirmed by the presence
of SPTE_MMIO_MASK.

AFAICT, clearing only the present bit in kvm_set_mmio_spte_mask() is an
odd implementation quirk, i.e. it can, and arguably should, simply clear
the mask. It's something I'd like to clean up (in mmu.c) and would prefer
to not propagate here.

My personal preference would be to use PT_PRESENT_MASK (more crud in mmu.c
that should be fixed). And the brackets can be dropped if mask is set in
a single line, e.g.:

/*
* Here be a comment.
*/
if (mask_bit > 51)
mask = 0;
else
mask = rsvd_bits(mask_bit, 51) | PT_PRESENT_MASK;
