[PATCH 1/4] KVM: x86/mmu: Track the number entries in a pte_list_desc with a ulong

[Sean Christopherson]

Use an "unsigned long" instead of a "u64" to track the number of entries
in a pte_list_desc's sptes array.  Both sizes are overkill as the number
of entries would easily fit into a u8, the goal is purely to get sptes[]
aligned and to size the struct as a whole to be a multiple of a cache
line (64 bytes).

Using a u64 on 32-bit kernels fails on both accounts as "more" is only
4 bytes.  Dropping "spte_count" to 4 bytes on 32-bit kernels fixes the
alignment issue and the overall size.

Add a compile-time assert to ensure the size of pte_list_desc stays a
multiple of the cache line size on modern CPUs (hardcoded because
L1_CACHE_BYTES is configurable via CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT).
