[PATCH v2 RFC] x86/kvm/mmu: make mmu->prev_roots cache work for NPT case

From: Vitaly Kuznetsov
Date: Sat Feb 23 2019 - 06:15:58 EST


Alternative patch: remove the filtering from kvm_mmu_get_page() and check
for direct on call sites. cr4_pae setting in kvm_calc_mmu_role_common()
can be preserved for consistency.
