[PATCH V3 00/10] KVM: x86: MMU: Clean up x86's mmu code for future work

[Takuya Yoshikawa]

It seems like you all are busy now, so I've made this patch set so that
mechanical and trivial changes come before.

V2->V3:
Patch 01: Rebased and moved here. Updated stale comments.
  We may also want to use a union, inside the struct, to eliminate casting to
  (u64 *) type when spte is in the head in the future.
Patch 02-05: No change.
  About patch 03: There was a comment on the usage of braces for a single line
  else-if statement from Xiao. As I answered, checkpatch did not complain about
  this, and when the corresponding if block has multiple lines, some developers
  prefer/recommend this style. Feel free to modify it if you don't like it.
Patch 06: Changed WARN_ON to BUG_ON as Marcelo suggested.
Patch 07: Removed unnecessary zero-initialization of sp->parent_ptes as Xiao
  suggested.

I think these seven patches are ready for inclusion.

Patch 08-10: No change now, though there were a few comments.
  This patch set is not intended to optimize anything, so these patches try to
  keep the way mark_unsync() gets called as much as possible: the only changes
  are when this gets called for the new parent_pte and when
  mmu_page_add_parent_pte() gets called.

For these three, I'm not sure what we should do now, still RFC?
We can also consider other approaches, e.g. moving link_shadow_page() in the
kvm_get_mmu_page() as Paolo suggested before.
