[PATCH v2 0/4] KVM: x86/mmu: Cleanups for eager page splitting

[Sean Christopherson]

Eager page splitting cleanups for a few minor things that were noted in
code review but didn't make it into the committed code.

Patch 1 goes beyond the eager page splitting series, but it's still very
much relevant.

The last patch in particular is a bit more urgent than I first realized.
I had forgotten that pte_list_desc is now 128 bytes, and I also had a
brain fart and thought it was just allocating pointers, i.e. 8 bytes.
In other words, I was thinking the 513 object buffer was "only" wasting
~8kb per VM, whereas it actually costs ~64kb per VM.

v2:
 - Add helper to compute SPTE's index into its parent. [David].
 - Collect reviews [David].
 - Tweak the comment in the last patch after more analysis.

v1:
