[PATCH v2 05/17] KVM: x86/mmu: Allocate pae_root and lm_root pages in dedicated helper

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Thu Mar 04 2021 - 20:11:23 EST


Move the on-demand allocation of the pae_root and lm_root pages, used by
nested NPT for 32-bit L1s, into a separate helper. This will allow a
future patch to hold mmu_lock while allocating the non-special roots so
that make_mmu_pages_available() can be checked once at the start of root
allocation, and thus avoid having to deal with failure in the middle of
root allocation.
