[PATCH 23/24] KVM: x86/mmu: Use low available bits for removed SPTEs

[Sean Christopherson]

Use low "available" bits to tag REMOVED SPTEs.  Using a high bit is
moderately costly as it often causes the compiler to generate a 64-bit
immediate.  More importantly, this makes it very clear REMOVED_SPTE is
a value, not a flag.
