I think you should add a new bit to the role meaning "should I clear
some X bits?" :) that is computed based on the VCPU state. For an
example see commit 699023e2 ("KVM: x86: add SMM to the MMU role, support
SMRAM address space"), which does
+ context->base_role.smm = is_smm(vcpu);
in init_kvm_tdp_mmu. BTW, based on what you told me offlist, what you
are doing should also just work with shadow page tables.
