[PATCH v2 8/9] x86/kvm/mmu: check if tdp/shadow MMU reconfiguration is needed

From: Vitaly Kuznetsov
Date: Tue Sep 25 2018 - 14:00:03 EST


MMU reconfiguration in init_kvm_tdp_mmu()/kvm_init_shadow_mmu() can be
avoided if the source data used to configure it didn't change; enhance
kvm_mmu_scache with the required fields and consolidate common code in
kvm_calc_mmu_role_common().
