[PATCH 1/6] KVM: x86/mmu: Track if shadow MMU active

From: Ben Gardon
Date: Tue Apr 27 2021 - 18:36:47 EST


Add a field to each VM to track if the shadow / legacy MMU is actually
in use. If the shadow MMU is not in use, then that knowledge opens the
door to other optimizations which will be added in future patches.
