No clue if it matters, but can't this be a u32 since both
kvm_mmu_page_role andÂkvm_mmu_scache are capped at 16 bits?

Tangentially related, it seems like we should have build-
time asserts on the size of the unions since we're (ab)using
union behavior to dereference the entire value in a single
shot, e.g. base_role.word and mmu_role->as_u64.
